Many, but not a majority. We still need a job. If I had somewhere else to go, I would. That's just not an option in this economy.

Agreed, plus you add in Eagle and North American pilots who unfortunately, might also be on the street and you end up with a very large pool of qualified applicants with very few places to go. No Bueno.

How about this scenario. Management can't get a deal done to maintain the turboprop operation,and decides to shut it down. So management has to declare bankruptcy to get out of leases and mortgages on the airplanes and to get a judge to allow an out of senoirity furlough. Delta then uses that opportunity to cancel the 50 seat flying and give it back to Comair or just get rid of it. So at this point they might as well shut down the 9E CR9 because that doesn't make money either. All that's left now is XJ CR9 flying...

Incorrect...any of the subsidiaries can go through bankruptcy on thier own without the others or the holding company being involved. This is exactly what happened at Mesaba. Mesaba went into bankruptcy but it's holding company, MAIR, and BigSky Airlines did not.
