They are scheduled to leave the fleet as the lease expires on them. Oddly enough (or not if you know our company), you may have noticed that our oldest planes have gotten the new paint... We are keeping the oldest of the 50 seaters. They are already paid for, and some of our newest are part of the 14 leaving.
Someone told me a month or two ago that the Smithsonian wants our first RJ as it introduced the "RJ Age" but Comair said no, we're still using it. I'm not sure if we are still flying it or not, but according to the union web page fleet listing, it's still on there (not sure how up-to-date that is.) So take it for whats it's worth.

Seems to me I always fly the old ACA/Independence planes with the BR tail and those god-awful new seats. I know alot of people prefer the new style seats over the old, but I like the old ones. Of course, newer thicker seat pads would be nice, but that's not going to happen.

You can spot them quite easily since the Comair/Delta Connection lettering is being taken off.

Hey, any new hires out there..... I have a friend who just got an interview but I am totally out of the loop on our hiring process..... any info you can share would be great. I've looked at the gouge but those a little old.
And do they pay for housing during training now??

Last I heard I believe you have a choice of a hotel (single occupancy) or sharing one of those apartment homes. That's only hearsay.
per diem is 24x7 while in training.

From: Some Hotel
Back when I went through training it was the good 'ole Radisson Downtown (Single occupancy). I guess they let new-hires choose now on where they want to stay. Hotel was paid and training pay was $250/week + 24/7 Per Diem. In other words, you make more money during training than your 1st year. I hear the overall interview process is still the same, except they added a written test.
