What is going on at Comair? Specifically, upgrade times, attrition, and seniority status of GSO. I got out of the airlines for a better quality of life, but I miss flying. I need a GSO base or something easily commutable.

When the next upgrades come out, 2 1/2 yr senoirity will hold JFK cpt. GSO goes as junior as 100 from the bottom (always hear rumors about GSO and MCO closing but not in the near future). Attrition has slowed to about 15 a month according to soapers little puppet.

Where did you get that one? As far as I know, it's longer than 4 years.

That looks like a "forward looking statement" to me. In other words, his opinion. He's probably not too far off though. If it's 4 years now it won't go up with the next bid. It's simply a matter of exactly how low it goes.
you might consider this, from the director of crewmember services, dated 4/13/07:
Crew Bases
Candidly, every month we grow in the northeast the need for a MCO or
GSO base diminishes. We are forcing block time into those bases that
would be better suited for CVG or JFK. Currently, we are looking at a
way to flow the aircraft differently to continue operating those bases,
as we recognize the social implications of moving people around the
country. I hope to have a definitive answer to the base question in
May. As for BOS, we are proceeding cautiously. Today we could easily
justify a crew base there, but we have seen this before with DFW, ATL,
MCO and GSO. I’m not a proponent of this move, but we will keep an
eye on the long-term stability of that market.
JFK and CVG are now stabilized.
Pilot Hiring
Our pilot hiring need of 60/month was driven by sick calls and
attrition. Our sick calls are now comparable to 2005 numbers, and our
attrition has fallen from 31/mo. to 13. Consequently, our current need
to hire has fallen off dramatically. That said, we continue to
aggressively hire to cover risk associated with attrition spikes that
could occur in the coming months.
