Comair.....

Eagle is....

Eagle is desperate! (....and yet somehow picky too.) weird. I know of a few well qualified good guys who were turned down, yet I hear stories about some of the newbies who are ...uhhh... having a hard time adapting to the aircrafts.

pinnacle mesaba compass feel free to correct me.. won't hurt my feelings

Comair is going to hire 280 or so between now and the end of the year. If you get in soon, it might mean a pretty short time on reserve and in the JFK crew base. Not sure about other airlines.

Im not trying to start anything here im just asking a simple question so please dont take any offense. Why is comair hiring? every time im in cvg i see more and more of their airplanes parked. I hear from comair pilots and rampers that they keep losing flights to other dci carriers. Plus with the merger mess coming up at the end of the year how can they be hiring? If some one knows please let me know. I just dont understand why they are hiring.

I asked myself the same question. I hope we are not just hiring for the increased in flying we got in the northeast. There are plenty of F/Os up in JFK that are just sitting around. Word on the street is we are hiring for more airplanes that we are suppose to get from .?.?.?. Let's hope they are right, 'cause I think we have plenty of F/Os.

Spooledup 05-08-2008 07:10 AM

Like CRJDriver said, there have been rumors around here about growth, but nothing concrete. Our president has said we are pursuing flying for other carriers, but hasn't announced anything yet. I don't think they can realistically expect to try and fly for other carriers unless they have the pilots to back it up.

I can't believe no one mentioned Mesa... I can't imagine why.

flyandive 05-08-2008 08:37 AM

I heard through the grapevine that we may be getting Horizon's 700s as they get rid of them. Sounds a little too good to be true but I hope I'm wrong and start seeing airplanes with QX on the tail.

Airnet, Ram Air, Flight Express, Mesaba, Comair, Republic, Great Lakes, Mesa, Eagle, PSA.....

I put in an Apps at a bunch of places with 1000TT/55ME, Bachelors degree, CFI and never got a call from many. ASA and Eagle called back.

Mesaba, TSA, Piedmont, Colgan wanted nothing to do with me.

Well, they are doing you a favor. Eagle and ASA are the only two you'd want to work for out of that whole bunch.
