If I were to ever go work for Comair, would you Delta mainliners at least let me on your jumpseat??

I doubt Delta would start a jumpseat war. I would bet a large number of Delta mainline pilots count on CMR jumpseats to get to work. It might just be a quiet ride.
Who's "they"? Delta doesnt have the authority to liquidate CMR or their assets under their Ch. 11.
Where do you get your information?
Pilot shortage thread #1 post said:The key reason why SkyWest must hire hundreds of new pilots this year is its growing alliance with Delta. In November, Delta selected SkyWest Inc. to take over some of the regional flying business operated by its Comair subsidiary. This month, Delta will shift the flying of 12 Canadair regional jets to SkyWest, The company also is waiting to hear whether Delta will award it another 131 Comair jets. Each aircraft needs a rotation of nine pilots.
Delta also granted eight of the 70-seat jets to SkyWest when it bought Atlantic Southeast Airlines in September 2005. Those aircraft are scheduled to be delivered between now and May.
The jumpseat is supposed to be 'non political'.
Oh Maxie your so gullabul! Delta owns 42 of our current a/c. the remaining 700's and some CRJ-100/200s. SkyWest wants the rest, they can buy em from Comair Holdings for market price and then some!:yar: I think once the T/A is ratified SkyWest will have higher operational costs than Comair. The tide could turn and SkyWest might loose some planes. Delta has been holding off on awarding the remainder of the RFP till the Comair restructuring is complete, which I hope will be March 4th.
Check again, I said *maybe*. As in unsure, my comment wasn't at all meant to be taken as a definate!
