No, did all my training at Sportys though. Never instructed, flew skydivers instead. I dont have any jepp binders unfortunately, would be nice though.:D

No, I don't I'm down in Florida instructing at ERAU. Looking forward to getting back to Comair. Did you work at Sportys? Maybe you could hook us up with Jepp binders? :D I'll see you there. You know of anybody else on here that is starting in our class? Oh yeah, any "during training" advice will be gladly accepted. I went through the training once as an intern and all I can really say is study what they give you when they give it to you.

Well, that explains your screen name. That's awesome, we got Skydive Deland out by us and they almost always have two jump planes going constantly sometimes three.
Anyway, It will be great knowing there are a lot of Comair folks on here, really helpful. Sounds like a few people here are in our class. Two friends of mine are going through training right now. One that was May 21st and the other July 9th. I also went for the apartment option, which sounds a lot nicer than the hotel. If you are local are you still going to be living in the apartment?

When I went to the Comair open house, they talked about hiring loooooow time pilots like around 300ish and give them a free jet bridge course. Is that still holding true or is Comair content with what they have for now?

As far as I know, the mins. are still 600/100, but I know a few people that have been hired with less than 100 Multi, but had over 600 TT. The lowest I have seen is around 400 TT. They still do the "Launch program", which is somewhat of a jet-transition course.

Welcome to all the new Comair new-hires on here!

Congratulations!

I'm starting 8/27 too. Diver Driver and I met on the same interview date back in June. I chose the apartment option. It's too good to pass up.

That's 3 of us. Anyone else?

Makes me wonder how many in the class? Around 10 maybe? Anybody know if the classes are getting bigger or smaller?

Yea, it is going to cut out a 30 min commute for me. Plus I'll be able to study with you guys and get to know everyone and it will eliminate distractions at home when it comes to studying, my brother and sis are still in grade/high school and pretty loud...lol

I spoke with one of my friends who is an FO earlier today and he said that he heard Comair is only hiring 10-12 per month right now. I don't know where he heard it.

Sounds about right. Classes seem to be about 10. Last fall they were running them about every two weeks. Spring every week, then now it seems to be somewhat sporadic but at least one a month.
