As most of you all know I made my escape from Comair in Feb of 08 to NWA. Now with DAL, I can easily tell you if you want to work at the new DAL you have zero chance, the DAL guys hate us/you. I hate telling the Real Delta guys I worked at CMR. You can thank JC Lawson for that, so, if you have a dream to come to DAL, I wouldn't bet a 2 buck pizza on it. So, for those of you that thought the strike was so great, you are an idiot. That was the dumbest thing ever. If I was not getting paid I would have crossed, it was worthless. And worse yet if you thought it was a great idea to black ball the DAL guys, have fun being a lifer at a dead company. It is reality not an opinon.

No I am not saying that for sure. I hope for the guys at Comair that will happen. I don't want to see anyone lose their job. But, I am saying I hope you guys will merge. Just like the post before yours said, Delta Hates Comair Pilots. Period. This has been a known fact for a long time. However, I have stated before, Comair will no longer be in business before the end of this year. This is a reply to STINKY..

Well, you can try all you want, but the DAL guys are so against the comair guys. I am a former NWA guy plus from Comair, I basically am the worst guy they could work with. So, try for DAL, be prepared for a reject and go with CAL or somewhere...

Even if you weren't there during the strike and hired after they got out of bankruptcy your chances with Delta are zip. Thats hard for me to believe.

Well, I was there during all that and they cant stand me and pilots never forget. So, if I wanted to leave there, I would apply but expect not to get hired.

I hope the people that are getting called back are with another company and refuse. Once again, Comair will not be around much longer. If you are still working for Comair I wish you nothing but the best. Take my advice and start looking for another company to work for. I'm still not sure if your job will transfer to compass.

Historical at Comair is roughly 11 pilots per airframe.
At 98 airframes, that's 1050-1100 pilots, so at most maybe another 50 or so after these two classes of recalls.
After that it's just attrition, and with all the Comair guys leaving for Delta, the attrition number will be approximately two per year.
How many 50s are we scheduled to park in the next four years - all of them?

Do the former Delta guys do all the hiring, or are there some former NWA guys in that department?
