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.

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.

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!
