I am sure he was from Mesa.. That sounds about the salary they were making!

 

Yea, that guy better hope he doesn't get what he paid for.

Boggles the mine that people spend serious jack on these planes than are so cheap about the person who is going to fly it.

I'm an "airline pilot" and I wouldn't know the first thing (other then to call a handler) about where to call about overflight permits, visa's, and foreign operating permits. As pilots, we don't deal with that stuff in the airline world

 

quack quack.....

 

So does anyone know the training footprint for those that are taking the recall?

 

Comair will not be around by the end of this year. the reason for the pilots leaving is due to the fact that delta has discontinued their flying after the summer. I understand that a majority of the CR7/CR9 are going to ASA. I would look for ASA to start Hiring after the furloughs are brought back. Stay away from comair.

 

And what is this statement based on, and who is it to? You say "Stay away from Comair", but they are not hiring, nor will they be hiring any time soon (Still 300 furloughed). So, who is to stay away from them? I am not certain, nor is anyone else, that Comair will be around in a year, but nobody except RA would know that. My personal thought is that Mesaba and Comair will, at some time in the future, be merged into one wholly owned. Delta will furlough pilots, and they will flow down to Compass and all current Compass pilots will be furloughed (because all the flow down pilots will take their place). This flow down will help Delta save money, and at the same time, allow them to fly the same routes with lower paid crews. It's all an evil Big D plan. And then, at the end of 2012, God shall hurtle a huge asteroid at Atlanta, hitting Delta's main operations center and ending life on Earth (except for cockroaches, which are God's chosen ones, like Noah once was).

 

SOURCE? PLEASE SPECIFY. I have heard all sorts of rumors about Comairs' demise. I have learned to take a wait and see approach. I don't want to cause folks emotional stress by just rumors.

 

Trust me when I say stay away from comair. They are done. I do believe that the pilots will move over to compass so their job will just transfer. I dont see a flow back due to there is word that Delta will be hiring again soon. But Comair will not be around by the end of this year. I also know that ASA is picking up 100 aircraft. A majority of these A/C are coming from Comair. ASA, who will be renamed Atlantic Southeast, Yea they are doing away with the ASA name and just going to be called Atlantic Southeast, will start hiring to cover those aircraft. The CRJ50 will be gone in about 3 years. Comair has been on the chopping block for some time.

 

LOL!!!

This statement reminds me of a preacher somewhere in the midwest who said "the reason why we are having all these earthqaukes in the world is because God is angry at women showing thier boobs." This actually made the news. however the rebuttal to that was even more hilarious. I college co-ed and about 20 of her well endowed friends had a hand held earth quake thingy measure (yes I forgot what thet call it) and stood out in front of Kent state university with thier cleavage exposed to see would an earthquake hit. It was hilarious!!!

 

I think trailblazer just wants to see some attrition, so Comair will call more people back.
