With negotiations over contracts for flight attendants set to resume on June 5, Comair President Fred Buttrell has announced his resignation. Comair, a subsidiary of Delta, filed for bankruptcy protection late last year. A U.S. bankruptcy judge in New York blocked the companies attempt to throw out the flight attendants contracts and cut wages and benefits by $8.9 million. The flight attendants are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters who says they don't expect the company’s position to change even with Buttrell making an exit. Buttrell will be replaced by financial officer Don Bornhorst.
