I agree that this opens a can of worms amongst the new hires. How would you like to be a six month F/O, hired off the street, and have a guy who's been CFIing at DCA, come over in front of you.

Plus, you know DCA is gonna market this is a way that makes it look like there is now a "direct track" from zero time to jet airline pilot, all you gotta do is sign on the dotted line for your 100K and you, too, can be a jet airline pilot. It's that sort of marketing, and commoditization of the entering of this great career, that bothers me.

Also, what happens if you sign up for this deal, and Comair gets sold?
