Comair Training??
 

Anyone who has gone thru training at Comair, do you have any pointers?? Are you paid during training?? Do they cover lodging?? Please let me know all the dirty little secrets, I am interviewing next week with them.

Look at www.comair.com

It does not specify if you are paid during training, although it is nice to know that they pay for housing during training.

They do pay for training. If I'm not mistaken, it's around $250 a week. Plus, as of recent, they are paying for housing and plus food money ($1.55/HR 24-7)..

$250 a week plus per diem if your assigned to JFK (Which you will be) for the entire training course (after their launch program). Paid housing at either the Holiday Inn, Radisson or Hilton. The food at the Comair Cafe is inexpensive as well and transportation is provided from the hotel to the training center.

The Launch program is kind of like a continuation of the interview..but not really...if that makes sense. It is two days of ground training followed by 3 days of sims to make sure you can fly the RJ 95% of people can some get weeded out here but it is very rare. after the Launch program you begin basic indoc for a week, two weeks of systems CRM etc, and then hit the sims for 2-3 weeks then move on to IOE

As far as the interview goes...be relaxed and yourself study the gouges its a pretty simple interview...you have to take a cog test which i am sureyou have read about on the gouges...nothing you can do to prepare for it, just have fun with it...

The Comair facilities are really nice enjoy yourself and good luck

I start training in two weeks. Really looking foward to it! I wish I had a car during training, but looks like I'm not going to. Anyone joining me the 19th?

I'm starting training the 12th, so I'll probably see you out there.

Thank you for all the replies. I hope to get it.

I'm starting on monday,5th and i'm at the Hilton.

You guys will like Comair. They've been awesome to me. My wife and I just had a baby and they gave me 2 weeks off and put me into another class. So, you're coming into a great company. The training is pretty good though. I've been at the Radisson and it's been good.

Any of you guys staying at the Holiday Inn?

The Holiday Inn is great. Its close, less then 4 mins to the Gen Office and there is a crew lounge just for us comair guys in training. Holiday Inn wants to keep comairs biz so they are doing what ever they can for us.

Good luck in training to all of you. I might see you there, but I guess you will not know who I am.
The per diem comes out to 260 per week, plus the pay you recieve during training. The per diem starts the day you are assigned to JFK, which is within the first couple of days.
