Gonna go get my ATP in the meantime since Comair screwed up and teased us with getting ours in the sim. Had my last checkride probably at Comair in Febuary.
you really thought OH was going to issue ATPs? Why would they? Yes, I get that it would unload a lot of 5-9 year guys and help them move on somewhere else. But, why would they give it to us when it's not required until August 2013 and by that time, if OH is still around, everyone here will have been at on point a Captain. Thus there is no need to hand out ATPs.

I guess because they told us they would. That and it's essentially the same test as FO's take now.

I was all set to go to the GoJetssss recruitment party in CVG...

Then at the last minute I decided to go home and watch Spongebob instead.

When I'm 80 years old I'll look back and know I made the right decision.

I jumped ship, but I won't know for another 3-5 years if it was the right decision. However, the quarter showed "tails", so, here I am.
On the bright side, I've got more people junior to me in the first 2 months here than in the first year at Comair. However, we all know how quickly that can change.
And, no, it's not Gojets.

wow. if you believe everything they tell you. I feel very sorry for you...

I know it's the same test, minus taxing. But, again I feel for ya if you believe they'll actually give it to a FO prior till they need to to make the seniority list legit for August 2013.

Save your sympathies for those who remain on property BB. Ive already bugged out. An ATP would have been nice for those that remain. That's what makes that promise so hideous. How many people use or are using an ATP to hold out making the inevitable decision.

Does anyone know if Comair is still losing FO's?

I have it on good authority that they're going to lose a bunch of FOs between now and December 2012...

Free money for Comair pilots! (I received the email this morning)

Dear Comair,

My name is Mr. Stephane Devos, a Business Manager with Foreign Trade Bank(Cambodia office), am as well an account officer to a deceased customer of our bank, that shares the same last name as yours Comair, who died on a car accident with his wife and two children along Cambodian Thai-way on November 16th 2004. His account of US$18,765,000.00 million with us has been unclaimed due to unavailability of next of kin/relatives to claim his estate. In accordance with the escheat laws in Cambodia as a kingdom, the Board of Directors of the bank met forth night ago and resolved to turn the estate of the deceased over to Government pause having waited for too long without the deceased relatives/next of kin surfacing property and if this is done, invariably, the funds will end up to become Government property and it is as a result of this that am moved to contact you considering the fact that you share almost the same name with the deceased Comair. Hope the money will be intact pending until my physical arrival at your end for sharing?

In view of this, am seeking your cooperation and understanding to stand as the deceased next of kin to enable us claim the inheritance before the period given by the bank elapse. All I require is your honest co-operation and I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please accept my apologies and keep my confidence. At the end of the transfer you shall have 40% of the total amount.

Considering the money involved, and due to the nature of this transaction, it is necessary for you to be sure of whom you are transacting with. I want to be sure that you are ready, to execute this transaction with me, What I expect from you is trust and commitment, I want this large sum of money transferred with your assistance and you should have nothing to worry about regarding legality at all because what affects you Shall also affects me too, but I will appreciate you to follow my directives amicably as everything shall be done in accordance passing through all international banking laws, and as a banker I know that if we follow up this transaction diligently it would be completed within 14 working days.

Do not fail to get back to me as soon as you have receive this mail to enable us discuss further, with your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication and oral discussion.

I await your prompt reply on this.

Kind Regards
Mr. Stephane Devos.
