Mins. are still 600/100, but if you have less than minimums apply anyway. He said they lowered the parameters on Airline Apps. to 450 hrs. so they can look at some of the low timers and you won't get the automated rejection e-mail from Airline Apps if you submit your application with less than 600 hrs. That doesn't mean the mins. are 450 TT, it's just a way for them to see what's out there. It doesn't hurt to apply!

There are not a lot of regionals hiring right now, so if you want to break into the airline industry now, this is your opportunity! Something is definitely in the works here at Comair, otherwise we wouldn't have this massive hiring wave.

They are doing a new-hire class of 12 EVERY WEEK now!

Questions? Fire away!

Well, that would explain the letter I got, no CRJ transition course and well, x-tremely low TT for Comair. I'm going to go build some more time up, then try again, or pay for a CRJ transition course. However, with these oil prices, I wonder if that would be a wise investment.

What are your times? Personally, I wouldn't spend money on a CRJ transition course, it is a waste of money.

Don't waste your money on one of those transition courses. For the 4-6k you would spend on it you could get a 737 type and apply to LUV!;)

Congrats on getting hired, when did they tell you? I was there Wed as well, hoping for a call myself. Did they give you a class date?

Thank you! They called me on Thursday morning, I'm the irish guy by the way, i think they called me so soon as i have to do the TSA approval before they can give me a class date, but he said if i can get it done in time i can start may 19th, otherwise it would be the june 2nd class.

You need at least 450 TT for them to see your application on Airline Apps. Again, 600/100 are still the minimums, but they have hired people with less than minimums, especially on the Multi side. They have hired people in the 550+ TT range, 50+ Multi range, but I'm not sure if they had a Jet transition course. I've heard they do lower the Mins. for people that already worked at the company, whether it was as an intern, ramp agents, dispatcher, etc.

Where did you get the SD3 type? Do you fly for ACC?

Skyway Enterprises, KISM. I think most of the folks if not all had a CRJ transition course, if you go to ATP there are no mins, I think.
