They just had to squeeze the last bit of RR out of us before getting booted Wednesday....sitting 815p-midnight, what kind of made up hours are those?

I hope I get some real good news soon (next month or next year), Or we will be seeing "where are Comair 900's going thread".

For the new displacement bid, I wonder if we are losing some more 900's? I have a question why won't Comair offer buyout to our most senior pilots?

If we're losing more airplanes, comair is offically DONE...

I really want to know what this DS bid is for, cause it's probably going to be my ultimate decision maker on what is going on.

IF, we're getting more planes...great..maybe things will turn around

IF, we're losing more planes...I don' think anyone can deny that Comair's flight operation is finished, or going to be so drastically reduced until the senior folks retire, that it's not worth anyone staying around.

i would have to say that we are losing more airplanes, thats what the trend has been in my year and a half here, and i dont see anything different. talk amongst yourselves.

Correct me if I am wrong because it has been along time since we have added airplanes....but don't they only publish "displacement bids" when we are losing aircraft/flying?

Well maybe this has to do with the closing of Concorse C in CVG. And your flying (Furlough Comair pilot, not my flying anymore) will take a hit in the first quarter of 2009 because of it. I can come up with a lot of scenario to make me feel better but the fact is THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!!

Keep us posted on why this bid happens.

True. We are either losing more flying... or the head counters over in the GO got their head count wrong on the last displacement bid. Lets hope for the latter, but I fear the former. I'm hopefully going to Mesaba later this month... good luck guys. I'm going to miss flying with a lot of the guys at Comair; a great group that I'm sad to see this happen to. We can only hope that things eventually turn around.

My guess:

1. More Captain downgrades (we seem to still be a little "fat" on them--per Comair standards)

2. 70/90 base opening in JFK (or even DTW/MSP for that matter)
