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.

This is so true, and a BIG "IF" Comair does turn around you will be sitting in a very nice slot

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

Just bored and wondering, but how would he be in a good spot? Currently furloughed so hes more than 1000 down the list. If OH was purchased then he would be stapled to bottom of list (not upgrade for 20 yrs). Or say delta doesnt finish the dismantling and lets OH stay then he has to wait till every one gets called back (5-7yrs) then reserve (2-3) yrs, then (5yrs at best to upgrade more like 10, but i'll go with the enthusiastic app)( 2-5yrs) reserve. Thats hardly good spot. Now I'm ok with just keeping OH in the back pocket , even though thats like keeping santas phone number in my cell. But to say" good spot" is a little out there. Take the buy out and play one big hand of black jack, you should at least het a 1000.00 from those douches in HQ.

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?
