We are today just below 1500 pilots at Comair. Maybe slightly more, depending on new hires in December (check JFK FO bid package for new pilots when it comes out). Your new seniority should be up around 150-160 numbers. Our attrition is around 25 per month. I checked the bid packages for C7C, C7F and CRC and, according to them, we had lost 24 pilots in December .Regarding the loss of flight time in February so is that normal. It will continue to slow down the next couple of months, just to pick up again in the summer.

All new hire classes from the 26th of November till now were given CVG as a base. The class on the 26th has 5, the 3rd of december has 5, the 17th has I believe 5 as well. Thats all I know from being around the training center.
Also, during our new hire orientation for the family... I wish I could remember this guys name but I cant, he was an HR guy. He told us that the rumors were all the aircraft leaving the delta connection fleet were going to be Comair's and that it wasnt true. He told us that this year we will have about 7 aircraft leaving. The rest will be from other carriers. He also said to expect the same for the next few years. He told us that at first delta cut about 4000 hours from us. But they talked to delta and told them it didnt make sense to cut our flying when we are wholly owned and all the money goes right back to delta. Then Delta gave us a lot more flying and took it away from other carriers. Take it for what its worth but that came straight from the HR guy. Ill find out his name for you guys when I go back on Monday.

12/17 class has 4 the 5th is Missing in action, heard rumors of the same size classes in Feb

All hiring has been officially halted for the time being.

I have been here at Comair long enough to know its proud history and while Comair today certainly does not resemble the Comair I started with a few years ago, all in all it really isn't that bad of a place to work. If things are that bad, nothing is stopping you from leaving. Not trying to flame, just stating a fact.

This is my third airline as well (furloughs). I am trying to leave trust me like all senior guys that know what has happened.

anyone have any idea when the next vacancy bid will be put out? im sick of NY. been there over a year and my schedule gets worse every month

Hey guys/gals, in another thread I noticed Delta has postponed a possible sale of Comair to explore merger options. Is it still business as usaul with you all or any of you plan on staying, leaving or what? Could good things be on the horizon for Comair?
Thoughts?

Yeah I saw the article on google news. It brings back the old Delta/United merger. If that happend, I have no idea what it would do to us. Anyone know?

Noone does... not even Delta or Comair upper management.

My *guess* is with our presence in JFK and the North East we'd be ok as a company, but CVG would be a goner. If it was Northwest, Memphis and DTW would be too close to CVG. If it was United, ORD is way to large of a hub and just as close to CVG.

When can I bid for the new Comair DTW base?

I think you can expect the DTW base just about the same time the 3 yr FOs get their upgrade!
