I see the dark clouds and think we are in pretty bad shape. I am actively looking for work everywhere I can. All that being said, why would Delta spend so much on us now just to kills us off over the next couple of years. Why not just pull the plug now. I understand that it is a considerable amount of lift to replace in a short period of time, but, if they really wanted us gone, why make the investment?

Comair was the first domino. The plan is already in place. If you doubt it, ask a Delta pilot to show you their contract. Unless you are mainline, there is no place for you in the future.

Yes we are the next Comair. Delta is keeping us going only until the flying can be absorbed by others. Its over.

In a land with plenty of aircraft and pilots, shutting down an airline and starting another is a great strategy if you want to keep wages low.
It works so well they do it all the time.

Like the old joke about the plumber...
Me to my lawn guy, "$75 for doing the yard? It only takes you a half hour, so that's $150 a hour! I don't even make that as a professional pilot!!!"
Lawn guy back to me, "Why do you think I got out of aviation???"
