Delta to shut down REAS

[COOPERVANE]

I guess they can lay off station personnel AGAIN and get rehired at a lower rate AGAIN.

I thought it was as cheap/bad as it could get. I was wrong.

Way to go Delta. Ground service will continue to decline.

Anything even remotely connected to Comair Delta wants to be rid of. WOW! What a vendetta!

Is there anyone who still doesn't think Pinnacle is the next on the chopping block?

So they hire everyone four years ago to cancel the whole idea? BS.

Start everyone back at 7 dollars an hour for part time wages.

Any clue to why people lose bags and deal drugs on the side? Sounds like Anderson really cares about everyone.

Delta is pretty ruthless, that is for sure.

This is the way of the future, friends. The military has been doing this for years with several functions - crew training, for example. Outsourced contract is up for RFP every few years. Guess what? The current contractor rarely wins. Peons can either start all over with the new co., or find another job. No seniority, no longevity, and your position/grade at the new co. is far from guaranteed - especially if they can find someone to do the job for less. Crappy medical? Take it or leave it. No 401K matching? Have a nice day.

Just a matter of time before MGTs, and their buddies in the beltway, figure out how to effectively do this with pilots. Majors and regionals, both, are just one bankruptcy round away (or other convenient "force majeur" event) from voiding contracts and putting out RFPs to replace their own pilots (on THEIR equipment) with Republic Air Services - then three years later with Pinnacle Elite, then Go-Jet Services Intl, etc. Don't expect travel bennies either.

I'm not understanding what this accomplishes. The turnover at RES is rediculously high anyway. That place is already a revolving door.

Reas is comair. Comair is delta. Now these employees will be off delta books as liability. Maybe back to Skywest employees.... Just cleans up that side of sheet for delta.

It is ex-Mesaba rampers as well.
