I will have to agree with Paok. Comair is more conservative in hiring people. Growth is also conservative at Comair which makes less unstable than the other airlines that hire 1,000,000 pilots in hopes of growth, and then cancel classes and furlough. A lot of people complain about the slow growth at Comair. But we all have seen the companies that go growth crazy and then end up cutting back or going out of business, or even worse, being a MESA like company. I would go with a company that will provide you with the best QOL and easiest commute. Any company can go away, look at Eastern, PanAm, TWA, and Aloha.
