Probably down since they will be getting rid of planes I am sure. Just a guess maybe some 35 seaters, ATRs. Good luck all

I told you AMR was going to file BK. I wish you guys the best of luck. I even quoted a few pages back that they would wait for the Monday after Thanksgivings.

How will this affect new hires? I'm starting class in January. Is that going to happen?
When the other majors filed for bankruptcy, what exactly did happen? Are pilots going to be furloughed? What is the foreseeable future for Eagle?
Sorry if any of these questions are obvious, but I just moved to the USA a couple months ago and have no idea what to expect of a situation like this.

Eagle is wholly-owned. You find yourself flying outsourced 737's or just the unemployment line. Either way, good luck.

The sky isn't falling. Age 65 finally spins up this summer with hiring to offset the date in one year. I can guarantee hiring will boom from every part 135 cargo outfit on up to the majors.

As an Eagle graduate I wish everyone there the best.

I am not trying to scare anyone... but the history of "wholly owned" airlines under a parent going through bankruptcy was not all that great given Comair's situation.

I believe Majors have come to realize they are better off letting regionals race to the bottom rather then owning them.

It seems that Delta uses Comair to fill the gaps as needed as they don't have to re-write contracts. The once great Comair is just a plug now. Very sad.
