I wouldn't say it's over JUST yet...DAL is still waiting to see if PCL bites on the proposed paycuts and work rule changes. PCL is really stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Eagle is the next Expressjet, or Compass. The efficiency of Eagle is top in the industry. With the kickbacks from the employee groups it will open make that stronger. If we get spun off be ready for another player in the whipsaw game everywhere. Or wait for your airline to buy us, and enter into an internally whipsaw.
Skywest is already tell their employees they arent as competitive as Eagle.

I'm sure AA is taking cues from DAL in shutting OH down for cheaper rates. Expect some other loser start-up to do your flying soon.

The wheels were set in motion at Comair in August of 2005 and it will have taken 7 years to get to where they are now. I feel the closing was really put in stone back in Aug/Sept of 2010 when the announcement to park half the fleet.
They dynamics are different with Eagle and Pinnacle. PNCL is a publicly traded company and has management that can look for work and answers to creditors. Eagle is more like Comair, wholly owned with another company calling the shots. It has managers who take their directions from their bosses at AMR.

CAL didnt play this card with expressjet, or Delta with ASA or Mesaba. USair still maintains PDT and PSA. I dont think the comair end is Eagles end. Its a growing company still, taking over many ground handling units for United Express and other airlines. They are not really that much more senior than units of Skywest and RAH. I still put my money they get spun off and buy someone up, or get sold to another holding company, and much up some of your watering mouths of gaining our flying.
Just remember all you guys drooling at the idea of getting AMR flying, you could just as quickly be getting thrown into a merger with Eagle.
