Ftrpilot,

Keep your head up and keep doing your job the right way. Even if this place was the top regional airline in the country, people would still find something to complain about, so screw 'em!
I personally have no problem sitting ready reserve at 3am. Nobody made me work for Comair, so as long as the assignment is legal, both by the FARs and the "contract," I have no problem accepting it. I'm all for getting paid to sleep!
People who have been at Comair less than a year (myself included) have no room to complain. Talk to the FOs that have been here longer than we've been in aviation and still haven't upgraded or the 20-year Captains that have been to hell and back with this place and you'll realize that sitting reserve for a year is not the worst thing that could happen to you.
My gut tells me things will probably get better at Comair, but regardless, a lot of it is what you make of it. You'd be amazed at how much more relaxing work can be if you avoid talking/"complaining" about all that is wrong with Comair and focus more on the positive things in life (in my case): Sports, beautiful women (especially the ones in 2A and 2B), and the libation I'm going to enjoy when I reach the hotel on a long layover. I digress, though............
