Almost 8 1/2 years - reserve but still in CVG.

The last Captain I flew with was 19 years and on reserve.

It's sad to hear what's happening at Comair. I was there 2 1/2 years (1985-1988) and it WAS the commuter (1988 term) to be at then. This was "pre-jet", the queen of the fleet was the Saab 340. I flew the Metroliner and the Embraer Bandeirante.

I just looked up your seniority and you would still be a lineholder if you stayed at Comair. :D

The reserves in CVG only go as high as the September 1989 new hire class.

Now that right there is funny!:D

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!:eek:

Don't listen to the hype... the Saab 340 is STILL the queen of ANY fleet...

King bird 50, I see you're a Trailer Park Boys fan! Now THAT'S funny!

loved that show. I have seen every episode and all the movies and even went to Bubbles Bar in Halifax. Just started watching their new tv show which I am not sure if I am going to like it though. Has all the same cast but totally different show.

See, I look at being CVG based as a bad thing! JFK was 100% better than CVG, and DTW was not bad either. Something about all the old Comair chronies, the watery meat sauce they call chili, and the odd "please?" that always rubbed me the wrong way:D

But, now'days I guess DTW is all old chronies too, since that there be a 200 base.

Hey, by the way..anyone have a number on total pilots still there?

Really? The worst job ever?
Sure, the threat of losing your job at any minute, and the poor scheduling sucked, but I loved the people I worked with and loved flying at Comair. I can only think of 1 or 2 pilots that I did not get along with that well, and even then it was not a horrible trip.

Again, I was JFK/DTW based, so I flew with a lot of junior guys that were great. My commute was great to JFK because I flew on B6. A little tougher to DTW, mainline DAL only, but that was only a few months till I left.

I did come from "real world jobs" before flying at an airline, so maybe that is a factor too. Dig ditches, load trucks, be a mechanic, or work in a factory, and all of a sudden...flying anywhere becomes a great job!
