How does flying for Comair limit your career progression? I'm not trying to be wise...I just don't see the connection.

It doesn't limit your career progression. Who are you as a person and a professional pilot will reflect on how you progress in your career. There is just so much negativity and scare tactics it drives me up the wall. For everyone that is bashing Comair just remember that every airline goes through cycles and in a couple years Comair might be the place to be, with right NOW possibly being the best time to get in with the company. The airline industry changes too fast to call an airline the wrong place to go. Except Mesa 
FYI I am in training with Comair and have 2 weeks left in the sim then off to IOE. I absolutely love it here.

This is only for folks wanting to possibly go to DAL. Of course other carriers couldn't give a rats butt what the Comair pilot group did. In my post I specified DAL.

I'd venture to guess that the deal on the table is much better than what Comair was originally pushing down the throats of the pilot group.
The whole episode is a shake down by big Delta to lower the cost of Comair flying they were stuck with so they could fight off US Airways. Don't think for a heartbeat that if Delta could save money by giving the jets to someone else they wouldn't do it.

Read up on the RJDC, Comair MEC, and them suing the DAL pilot group. Delta pilots want nothing to do with Comair at all. The Comair MEC really forked over the pilot group there.

The threads above will help you to be a little better informed. It wasn't the Comair pilot group that "forked" over DAL pilots at all. The scope clause, the cause of this whole suite, has only been argued by the few members of the RJDC. The DAL scope actually protects its pilot group from losing certain flying to all the DCI carriers, not just Comair. So why do you think the actions of a small organization, which operates outside and is not endorced by ALPA, has any bearing on a Comair pilot's ability to obtain employment with DAL?
There is even a disclaimer in the initial brief. It states, and I quote "Your local ALPA representatives have dual responsibilities to the pilots, and the national organization they represent. Therefor this effort cannot be funded, directed, or supported by the MECs, or LECs."
