Do not listen to the people that tell you stay away from Comair. They have no clue of what is going on at Comair or the other airlines. Each airline has its good and bad. The only airline I would stay away from is Mesa because of the way they pay you.

Good Luck.
So you see know problems with GoJet?

ASA was not the place to be a few month back. I’d say for about 2 years know SKW, XJT & RAH have all been the place to be. ASA now has a good contract and nothing more. Their not going anywhere but I don’t see much if any growth in their future, but I’m not Mgmnt so my crystal ball is clouded.

I would say that ASA would be a good place to start your career but I’d expect an average 3+ yr upgrade and a few yrs of reserve as a junior CA; but with the 65 rule passing the average upgrade at the regional level will more than likely stay around 3 years. Where as Comair, Eagle, Horizon and Mesa will all continue to have 4-7+ year upgrades for many various reasons.

If I had to recommend, in order, what airlines to target it would look something like this:

1) SKW or RAH
2) XJT or ASA
3) Everyone else except………………

NEVER GO TO MESA or GOJET!
