This is the take I heard from a fellow Comair pilot today...
The recalls are just a ruse by the company to avoid a sick out of the January furloughees between now and the end of the holidays. Come January 5th, the furloughs we recommence. Company crisis averted.
This isn't my theory, just thought it was an interesting angle.

The thinking is that since you're going to be furloughed anyway, why show up for work on the holidays? If you're not going to be furloughed, you're still part of the team and would show up and perform your job like you always did. I agree that would be a pretty slick move on the part of the company if it worked, but I make the assumption that they have some kind of planning involved to recall pilots and that the union is monitoring the reasons for the recalls. But you know what happens when you assume.

If you don’t have to quit a good job to go to Compass then I would say it’s a no brainer, a job is a job. If you have to quit a good job, then I guess you will have to take your chances. But from what I hear, Compass is not a bad place to be except for low 1st year pay and the fact that you have to pay for your hotel during training.
Just out of curiosity, do you have an ATP?

Evil, congratulations on getting the call. I’m sure you will do well in the interview. Let us know how it goes if you decide to interview

Thanks all for the input. I am going for it after thinking about the same questions FO and Drumm asked.
To answer your question 200, no I don't have an ATP. As a matter of fact, have to take the written (again) for the interview. As far as hours is concerned, I far exceed their requirements except for the ATP. If it truly happens, I'll post how it goes in the future.
