Two reasons...1) you will always get the shaft being a wholly-owned as we are now seeing and 2) Comair has a very senior pilot group that will not budge no matter what. If you are looking for a stepping stone airline OH is not it. Just my .02 cents.
The problem I see here, is that the guys that have been here 1 year or less are furloughed. By them quitting and going to Mesaba, or elsewhere it doesn't help the company as far as the attrition they are looking for. The company wants active pilots to leave, but the problem is that there isn't really anywhere for anyone to go.
With 10 year captains in the 50 going back on reserve and 7 year guys still FOs, it's hard to believe anyone is still here besides guys over 50 years old with 12 years or better.
