Yeah, I wasn't sure about Comair, but I guess they have it. The company use to be a Cargo company with some charter ops, but they are trying to get it towards a passenger airline with some cargo ops. Still doing lots of runs to Mexico for Ford. Contracts with about 30 or so NCAA basketball teams(DC9) , two Pro Hockey Teams (MD80) and two Rock Groups (MD80). They use to run a charter out of Myrtle Beach, but they aren't sure if they are going to do that anymore. It basically kept their planes flying, but didn't really generate any revenue for them. On charters with less than 50 or 70 people (can't remember), you are the TSA and you will screen the passengers.
The company takes your cell phone number now instead of pagers. They give you a 10.00 credit each month for a texting plan. They basically text you to let you know where you sit on the board. So if you move to the next guy in line, they will text you.
Starting base pay is $37699.00 for an FO on the DC9. 55 Hour guarantee with 57.00/hr on the DC9 and 50 or 52.00/hr on the Falcon20.
