I’m sure you have a good reason for not taking the early out. I’m thinking about take the early out because I’ll be furloughed next year anyways. If you think that Comair is going to recall anyone or grow in the future you are in for a big surprise. By the end of 2012 we will be down to 47 aircraft. That means a maximum of 500 pilots. We have about 950 to 1000 active pilots. That means and additional 500 pilots will be furloughed between now and the end of 2012. I would say take the money and run. I’m sorry to say that there is no future at Comair

It just me, even though I think comair will be sold or dismantle I just like to have an insurance job just incase my current job don't plan out like they hope it does. Plus you never know what will happen in this crazy industry.

No disrespect to you Mosquito; but Comair as an insurance policy, now that’s on of the funniest things I have heard in years.

I'd take the money and run if you are on furlough. The "insurance" you refer to is an illusion, you don't actually have a job there and so many things would have to happen to get recalled, the money is much more of a sure thing.
Don't recall rights expire after 5 years anyway?

Take the leap, take some chances to make your life/career better. Or, look back later in life at "what I should have/could have done".
On a side note: A guy that used to work for me just got an interview at Eagle. 850 TT and 50 ME.
Good for him, but sad that the regionals are back to hiring low time people again! After the Colgan incident, I thought things would be different....guess not.
