Comair hasn't had junior guys since 2007.

I'll just hide in the lav and get my number when GoJetsssss comes for the plane.

why wouldn't he? Let's see. Your company would get a new hire who is current and typed in the aircraft. I am sure that training costs for your company would go down because of just that reason.

I really hope the floodgates will open soon so that our brethren from Comair could apply and get on with mainline before applying to another regional.

IMHO: You get what you pay for!

DL didn't learn when they brought Mesa (Freedom) to cvg a few years back. Nothing against the pilots, but the mgmt. was bad

In my class and up to July, GoJet has hired 25 furloughed pilots all with 6000+ TT and 121 pic, my sim partner was a 6 year Comair furlough pilot. We have at least 40 Comair & Pinnacle pilots in the training pipeline. We have qualified people, most will not be here more than 1 year. I would suggest if you need a job, apply. The situation for Comair pilots is awful but they need to move fast. One of your top union reps has.

Where are they going?
