It'll either be really good for us or really bad for us. Things definitely won't stay status quo. Only time will tell. We will have to wait and see what the details of the merger are. Will they combine wholly-owned carriers (Comair, Mesaba and Compass), will they dump contract carriers (Pinnacle, Republic, etc..)? Who knows? Lots of variables to take into account with hubs, route overlap, aircraft types, seniority integration issues, company control, etc.
I tend to think that it may not be a good thing for us as Comair, but we will have to wait and see. Selvaggio seems to think we will be okay (per the latest conference call), but that may just be corporate rhetoric.

I never thought there would be an in-between.
I've heard mumbles of DL and NW going to wholly owned regionals only...or them going primarily wholly owned with one or two other contracts floating around.
Gah, i want to know now!

Well I drove up from Florida so I'd have my vehicle with me. If you are going to try to fly in, call them for your non rev listing, they should be able to give you the confirmation number over the phone.
I did call them the day before groundschool and told them I didn't have my package and they didn't seem too concerned about it.

$500 is just gas, there is also all the other maintainace. 2,200+ miles from here.

For the 1000 buck you can probably buy a beater off of someone.

I wouldn't drive out here. I didn't drive out here from the West Coast either. You really don't need a car during training, the hotel van will take you or someone in your class will have a car. Do you know which hotel they are going to stick you in? If you ever need a ride, just holler!

I call bullshizzle on that one. It's just a rumor that was started on this forum. Probably some wishful thinking by some comair pilot.

Personally, I think initial training at Comair is way too long! Do you really need to do 3 full days of CRM? I think it was about 2.5 months from ground to the end of IOE. Also, I managed just fine without a car.

FTR,
What is with the open time games? You told me that trip wasn't going to be released till 9 and its already gone to a reserve. I know it's not your decision. I just want to learn how to work the system.
