One of my best friends was an always single Comair pilot w/DOH 1987. Super nice guy, no ambition to move up, flew what he wanted (mostly back/forth whatever city he wanted) Now he has no job so he's been retired at 58 and makes pottery (bit of an oddball hippie type w/Purdue degree). Kinda sad--his choice.
Comair really ruined themselves with some serious screwups that cost DL hundreds of thousands--a little software issue pre Christmas one year when all the crews timed out at the same time and Gee, I forgot to order deicing fluid at Christmas a year later...
