Anybody know if Chitaco is still giving Comair guys a thousand dollar signing bonus to switch to Chitaco after IOE?

I'll bet those guys are Captains by now...

Funny you mention this, I was thinking about it today. I know a couple of guys from Comair who left to do that, and a few others from other regionals. At the time I thought of them as selfish rats, but now they look like geniouses. Hindsight is one tremendous reality check.

I don't think this offer still stands, as Republic has around 50 pilots on furlough themselves. The guys that left Comair 2 years ago would not be Captains yet, however they likely have the domicile of their choice and a line in that domicile.

Of course it's not happening still. They'd have to be hiring during a "shortage" again. I was merely implying how doing that was a doosh move, however for those who did, they certainly did the right thing. They still have jobs.

Displacement award is out . . .

Looks like another 59 involuntary furloughs.
