OK, just my way of asking why we have to complain about everything, even what is a little bit of good news?

preach it my friend. we could have an announcement that said we are replacing all the RJ's with 757 and a 90 percent pay raise and more than half the users on this forum would b!tch about it not being 767's and a 91% pay raise.

be thankful for some/any good news at this place. we should take anything we can get at the moment. (eventhough, more than half of you will probably find a negative outlook on this positive news.)

Hello everyone. Hey I know this has been beaten to bare feet, but I jumpseated in on Comair yesterday, and was told to update my stuff at airline apps. I fellow pilot told me that Comair is about to ramp up hiring again due to the fact of sooooooo many pilots leaving, even with lower mins they can't get enough to replace the attrition. I also heard once they restart, mins are going to go to Comm. Inst. ME.

Any truth to the rumor ?? What have you heard?

Thanks.

Infinite until everyone junior to you has received a recall notice...or five years, whichever comes first.

But if they were to recall more, say in 3 months, they would again approach the voluntaries and ask if they wanted to come back?

In other words, you'll get a choice of whether or not to accept a recall every time it's offered to the invols?

That is correct. Technically involuntary furloughs are guaranteed a year off if they want (assuming all pilots were to be recalled in a year).

That's how I feel about taking a recall at Comair...

Spoilers, will you go to back to your abusive girlfriend if she asks?
