Send it in to that phoenix company because more than likely you will have a choice of base or they will base you out east anyway. As soon as you complete the training with them, send your resume to Comair immediately! This will be attractive to them for two reasons. 1) You have RJ training and they know you are a sure thing to get through their class. 2) It also shows them that you know they (Comair) are a better company an want to work for them. Pay no attention to the min quals. It means dirt! Don't defeat yourself and say "I don't meet the min quals." You know how to fly, that's all they need right now.
I have a lot of friends at Comair, both on the line and in management. The company I work for now has close ties with them, so I'm hoping that might give an edge. Ya, that 20 is ME time. I did an internship with ASTAR air cargo, (DHL) last year and got some sim time and ground school too... so every bit counts i guess. I think im gonna get my schtuff together and get going on this. I was under the impression that the mins weren't that flexible.
