I haven't been at Comair in a long while.... but spamming anyone and everyone linked to Comair to try to make a buck on a useless type rating? I am sure guys who are hustling to make ends meet now are in a great spot to buy a type rating.

Yeah, these people really are looking like bottom feeders to me. They really want to help?. How about they add "Free financial aid is available". Bastards!.

By the way. I saw on here that some recently asked about the refund of the Merger Assessment. I posted an email from the MEC that I received after inquiring directly to him.

The answer was YES the money gets refunded. But, there was a ton of Accounting requirements to be accomplished. A TON.

The best guess is that it would be Christmas at the earliest that we would see the money and that we would get approximately $230 of our $240 paid.

The lost money was spent on the retainer I suppose for the attorney selected. Non refundable. Never used. Just bought the guy a new Lexus. Lawyers always win..... and pilots always???????

They have a bunch of ex-OH guys on staff, but the marketing is terrible.

As a former Comair guy ('07 - '09) I feel for you guys. When I was furloughed in 09, I used money from the State of Michigan ("Michigan works" program) to get a Citation 500 series type rating, which led to a job. I dont know if they are still running that program but feel free to PM me for more details. Good Luck!

I don't see what accounting has to be done that will take so long. There is X amount of money sitting in an account and Y number of pilots that paid into the fund. You take X/Y= how much each pilot gets. Then all that needs to be done is write checks and put them in the mail.
