Income of an average Comair flight attendant, according to a federal bankruptcy filing. The filings, in association with Delta's bankruptcy, seek to void the labor contract with Comair's 1,100 flight attendants. Delta and Comair officials say Comair's future is at risk if the company cannot obtain $8.9 million in annual compensation cuts from the attendants, whose wages start at about $16,000 a year and top out around $40,000.

The filing (pdf) reported that Comair lost $120 million in 2005. The company reported an operating profit of $28.4 million through the first three quarters of 2005 on forms required by the federal government.

Which leads us to this nomination for Quote of the Day:

"We can't find where Comair lost money. They are using numbers that can't be substantiated, and won't give us the formula for how they came up with those figures."
