If you flew with a 3 1/2 year Comair Captain, I'd fill out an ASAP report pronto.

Upgrade might be down to 5 years, but not 3.5. The latest vacancy, lowest Captain (JFK) is number 1006, hired 12/01/2003. This individual starts upgrade training end of August, completes IOE November 2008 (give or take).

November 2008 - December 2003 = 5 years.

I think they mentioned projected hiring was going to be around 60/month for the remainder of the year. Apparently, the reason for the continued hiring is to cover additional flying for Delta previously flown by Mesa.

yeah, just got the confirmation email this morning. They say the furlough at PSA might just be for a couple months (doubtfull)...so if I might get recalled before a class comes open at comair
