Comair / ASA

Thinking about making a move to either one?

Which one has "better" qualities? Bases isnt a problem since I live in Miami.

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

Let me get this straight. You fly for a 121 regional right now, you don't meet Comair Mins (600TT/100ME) or ASA Mins (500TT/50ME) and you are looking to jump ship? Who do you work for now? Mesa? Piedmont?

Put your app in, they have hired with 250 total. He is an All ATP graduate and has done very well. CVG Base may be difficult having to commute through atl.

I think we have hired some guys below <600 TT here at Comair that came from the "Academy", Delta Connection Academy I should say not Air Force Academy

Put your stuff in, but I'd think twice about coming to work for Comair.

Whats the downside at Comair, I knew some stuff with upgrade was going around but anything to add? I would prefer Comair since I got family in the JFK area so the reserve issue wont be a problem, I wanted to know if the -200 guys cross fly the planes or whoever is on the -200 only -200/100 and 700/900 or all mixed?
