VA is Hiring
For all furloughed pilots and all active pilots that hate life at Comair:
This was posted on the majors thread, Good Luck to all.
"Just heard that VA is going to hire 72-100 pilots for 2010 starting in January.
For the 106 furloughed ALK guys & gals, you might want to submit an application. CM works there now and she may be able to answer some questions for you if you contact her.
I'm just posting this as information only. I don't work for VA, so don't shoot the messenger."

Their starting pay for FO is $44/hr. That would be a major paycut for CAs at Comair. I can understand FOs being tempted to switch but why would CAs take the risk of starting all over again at an airline which may not survive with major paycut.

Also Comair's survival isn't exactly assured (I wouldn't even call it 50/50).
I'd much rather work at a company that has a say when and where they fly and not at a small jet provider.
Then again there are plenty of qualified A320 drivers on the street from pales such as United and Spirit.

IF this is true, I will probably submit an application regardless of what their advertised hiring minimums are. You definitely won't get hired if you don't submit an application.
Besides, I have to agree with BlueMoon. It's worth the roll of the dice to cut your losses here and try elsewhere. I really don't think you'd have much to lose and our prospects for survival at Comair are bleak at best.

You do not have to apply if you do not want to work for VA. If you want to stay at Comair, you do not have to apply.

An 8 or 9 year downgraded captain flying as an FO at Comair tops out at $41 on the 50 and $44 on the 70/90. It would make sence to move on. Comair is not going anywhere.

Comair is the target at the bottom of the big smoking hole that Mesaba is heading back towards.... And this merger was supposed to be great for everyone.... HA!
