That's not just Comair folks though. I think if you took a training snapshot of anyone who spends a prolonged time in one airplane, the transition to another is difficult. When you take someone with 10 years of automation and put them into an MD-80 for example, they will have a steep learning curve. Just the scan alone will take a while to come back.
We see the same thing happening with some of the senior 80 guys here going to the Airbus.
Not a pilot skill problem IMO.

Yeah, the Comair folks are "just a little bit" disgruntled and set in their ways. If it weren't for them and the former Expressjet pilots, the Facebook gripe page would be dead. It's funny how some airline's alumni are happy to be here, and some are never happy.
