As for the Comair guys they hired a bunch of them as full time professional instructors awhile ago.

Not to thread jack, but I'm currently looking at my options in the DC area...
How is the attrition at Air Wisconson? Are be legacies hiring, and do they hire FOs out of AWAC?
Comparing AWAC to the likes of TSA, CommutAir, Mesa, Piedmont. Everyone says go to PDT but PHL is too far of a drive from here.

If you are going to work for a regional be prepared for a ton of things that aren't certain.

As for the three former Comair instructors that we currently have, I agree, they are nothing short of professional. They add tremendous value to our group. I'm glad they were hired.

Man, in your haste to attack all things AWAC you need to reread the post you quoted. He said one would likely reach a legacy just as quickly as a wholly-owned carrier. It was not a definitive statement.
Anyone who believes your advice about AWAC is a fool. Stick to what you know and that certainly isn't the future of that great company.
