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.

Comair also took a bunch of ground handling from OO a few years ago, only to be shut down. If I were still at AE I'd be looking for a new job.

Are kidding Delta came to OO to try and get them to buy Comair. OO said no way! Comair is very similar AE whether you like it or not. Hopefully AA finds a buyer but unfortunely they've been trying to find a buyer for sometime now with no takers OO included.

Only time will tell what will happen to AE, I would keep a keen eye out for the road markers that Comair saw to see if you are on the same road.

Calm down there....I wasn't saying you were young, dumb, and stupid ( redundant?) but more that your enthusiasm and experiences haven't found their LD Max yet. ;-)

Pinnacle is certainly in a league of their own. They are getting exactly what they want out of this BK, a new management team is in place, everyone and their mother (including the senior) are jumping ship helping to reset all their costs. Once the BK terms are shoved down all the employee's throats even more people will leave. When this thing is all said and done even GoJet won't be able to compete. I don't see Pinnacle going away, they are like a cockroach, they will be around long into the future constantly exerting downward pressure on pilot wages.

Plus Eagle having a Miami base makes commuting a little less a life sucking adventure.
But alas......just hang a shiney jet in front of me and I'm yours.
