Republic / Comair
 
Getting ready to submit my resume to Republic & Comair. I am closing in on 40yrs age, CFII, ME, A&P/IA, 20 years cargo / pax 121 maintenance and operations, 950tt, 140 ME, no college degree.
Seem like a long shot?

No way my friend...sounds like they'd both be lucky to have you. And FWIW being that I am employed with neither, I'd try my luck with Republic. Good luck!

RAH will hire you unless you are a tool.

I may in fact be a tool but this cargo outfit lets me guide flight crews through prcedures inflight. Haven't dropped one in the North Pac sea yet...

I will preface this by saying I don't work for Comair so I don't know the in's and outs of that place.

I just got off the phone with an old student of mine last night. He's been at Comair for 8 months now. He's fed up with it and is seriously considering jumping to RAH and going through 1st year pay all over again based on his experience there. Comparing what he told me about his first year at Comair to my first year experience at RAH...I would go for RAH over Comair. But that's just me.

I currently work at Comair, and I would not recommend coming here! Go to Republic. You will be a lot happier there! Trust me! ;)

Ahhhh, RAH & SKW are good starts but I'd think twice about Comair. No offense but the dust is just starting to get kicked up over there and until Father Delta decides on what they want to do with them, I'd think twice. Same goes for Eagle; they’re two peas in a pot.

RAH & SKW have growth on the books and more to come, they're both worth gambling on.

Ehh, a few always slip through the cracks. I haven't had any trouble at RW yet, but I know there are a few names. Moral of the story, RAH will hire you.
