Default "and of course we own Comair.."

Did anyone else hear the CEO of Delta during the Merger announcement mention Comair?

I heard that he was praising Compass and Mesaba for their effieciency, etc. and then he said, "and of course we own Comair". I heard that it was said in a negative tone. It was as if Comair was this cancer that they were burdened with. I listened to parts of the webcast as well as the Q&A but I didn't come across it.

Did anyone else?

There's already a forum on this under Comair Updates. Why don't you watch the video for yourself and then post a comment rather than "hear" it from someone.

Sorry, I didn't read the 318 page thread. Seriously, why do you care what I post? Are you the forum police? I just wanted to post and see if anyone else had heard the same thing and if so where within the webcast it was.

Why do you care where to post questions? Just relax and tack a chill pill my friend.

Honsestly, it doesnt sound negative to me. It sounds like when you praise someone elses property but you dont want to praise yours becuase its yours, you know its good. Just how I took it anyway.

I'm not gonna get my panties all in a wad about that statement he made. DL's guy was just trying to bring NW up in saying they own these two airlines. If the question was brought to the NW CEO, I bet he could have said the same thing, just in reverse.

I just watched the video. I didn't feel anything negative about Comair, just a matter of factly tone.

Sounded ok to me. Should he of smiled and gave a thumbs up after he said Comair?
How about "And Delta owns Comair, how about a Whoop Whoop for Comair."
