Long reserve (~1+ year), long upgrade (~5.5 years), Loosing about 14 -200s this year....

Read the 'big' Comair thread, you'll find a lot of information. It's like a freakin' book

Glad I got out of JFK in Sept, based there a month and flew a 4 day worth 4:57, since Oct 1 in cvg, over 330 hours, must be the base.

That's 'cause JFK ain't a base, it's a transfer station

So, if you had to make a choice, out of the two, would you say Comair or ASA? I think ASA is all out of ATL, which I would think is better than JFK, not sure about CVG.

I dont quite meet the mins for Comair but I do have 121 SIC experience, any chance they might lower them for the experience? If not ASA will do but regardless gotta compare the two....any feedback is good.

Thanks AFX Armed

Smells like someone payed a lot of money to play airline at Gulfstream. How's my aim?

It's all a crap shoot, but given how things are today, go to ASA.
