I may have been unclear in my post. What I meant was; how many people are willing to stay an FO at Comair for at least 10 more years, and top out in pay, when they could go out and find other jobs (non-aviation or maybe at a corporate flying job) that pay the same, if not better. And as for the "former captains" of Comair, I am sure they are looking for other better things than a place that made them take a huge pay cut.
I know the argument will be that the economy is bad and there are no jobs out there....let's just say, for sake of argument, that there are jobs out there.
As for Colgan, one could only hope that their certificate is taken away (not anything against the pilots). And Mesa, well, that is just a matter of time until they go away.
I know the captain bid that came out is only for eligible pilots, but the attached seniority list is called "Pilot Seniority List 2/12/10"....it was nice of them to leave off the furloughed pilots like they are not even considered as employees (pilots) anymore
