Comair, Pilots Nearing Deadline



Sunday January 28, 2:35 PM EST

CINCINNATI (AP) — Time is running out for Comair and its pilots to reach an agreement on wage cuts and other concessions.

The Delta Air Lines Inc. subsidiary and the union representing its 1,500 pilots enter their final negotiations this week.

Comair has said that it could impose concessions on its pilots Friday if no agreement is reached by then. But the company probably won't take that action until a federal bankruptcy judge rules on Comair's request that the court block pilots from striking.

"We remain hopeful that our discussions in the coming days will be productive, but we also have to plan for the possibility that we will not reach an agreement," Comair spokeswoman Kate Marx said Friday.

2. The Comair pilots are usually really nice and extremely professional, too.

Used to be a VERY heavy delta airlines user... racked up oodles of time on Comair flights...

Hope they reach a good deal- the regional carriers are usually staffed with young pilots trying to log enough hours to get the better gigs.
