CR-700 Displacements at ASA?
Unfortunately for the ASA flight crews, mgmt and ground service would be the reason for 70-seat transferrals to CMR. Like fins said, the only difference who flies into ATL is who is sitting in the cockpit waiting for the ground crews. There is nothing worse than being told you're going to... -

CRJ or ERJ - which one do you prefer?
-700 is just a new airplane, and the mechanicals are more of the pilots issues than the airplanes. Now that we know how to fix the glitches (like shutting down the aircraft and "rebooting") there are very few mechanical issues. 99% are computer related. Rumor was that Bombardier toyed with... -

CRJ or ERJ - which one do you prefer?
In response to the lost blades on the CRJ-700 Funny thing, noone ever knew the blades were missing. The blades were separating from the N2 turbine rotor, which meant it had some more blades to go through before it came out the back of the engine. But there were no shutdowns, severe damage, or... -

Skywest or Comair
I thought this was about Skywest vs. Comair. Not Delta vs. Comair...which, somehow, is what every thread deteriorates into. And somehow there always seems to be propoganda slipped in: "If you want to eventually possibly end up with Delta, go to Skywest." "That is the biggest lie... -

Skywest or Comair
just trying to be objective. It all comes down to where you wanna be, I think. The two airlines really are very comparable from an employee standpoint however, when you compare them this is what i see: Skywest is a great company, but compared to Comair, its risky. Of course Comair can offer... -

Comair stopped Hiring?Asking for Leaves
Reports from YUL are that a 90-seater is painted in Comair colors. Why is that? Nothing more than a marketing effort by bombardier. Comair is still their #1 customer and is the airline that was with bombardier from the very beginning. I've been told (never saw it) that there was a 50-seater... -

Skywest or Comair
Comair is a great company Col Hogan, and right now they are over-staffed CRJ pilots, but won't be in three months when Bombardier gets back up to speed. If you want to fly for a great regional airline with a solid future, go to Comair. If you want to fly for Delta later, come to Comair. Don't... -

What makes a Regional Airline
I'm confused about the four year degree argument. Are majors better than regionals because more pilots there have a four year degree (which I doubt)? In which case wouldn't that make teachers better than all airline pilots because they are required to have a four year degree, and then are... -

Delta might offer CRJ70's to Mainline
Or better yet, How about Delta MEC relaxes the 57 70-seater limit in turn for furloughed Delta pilots retaining their seniority number while flying them? The aircraft would be much more profitable and the end result is the same... or would that cause an ego problem? The RJ's are profitable... -

Don't expect an unbiased post from someone who's portrait is that of an anti-RJDC logo. That being said, I think you'll be hard pressed to find an unbiased account of what's actually going on. Everybody has an opinion, so take EVERYTHING you hear with a grain of salt. If you're looking for... -

Comair MEC burning bridges with Delta?
You say it exactly how it happened, LumberYak. Delta MEC came to Comair MEC and DEMANDED that Delta furloughees be hired at Comair without resigning their seniority number. In return Delta MEC was willing to offer preferred hiring. What is that supposed to mean anyways, especially coming from... -

Comair MEC burning bridges with Delta?
Freight, I have to admit I agree with a large part of your post. Especially when you said, "I've seen those topics and most are pure frustrations by the furloughed crowd." You're absolutely right. Well said. The only thing I'd like to add is that (speaking for myself, of course) CHQ, ACA... -

Comair MEC burning bridges with Delta?
Quoted from Frieght Dog Unions epitomize extortion! Thats how they survive. "Give us what we want or we'll quit working en masse." Threats are what fill the coffers. Its the way its always been, and probably always will. Everybody for the common good of the union. Thats the reality of... -

Comair MEC burning bridges with Delta?
Because, flying dutchman, no airline wants a block of pilots who are guaranteed to not stay with the airline. That and the fact they're all going to leave at the same time when Delta recalls pilots, exactly when Comair is going to need more pilots. Comair pilots (at least those with foresight)... -

Comair Training
3 year freeze Update on the 3-year freeze: Anaconda, I think its the next page in the contract after the one you quoted which talks about a freeze after being jr. manned. I don't have the contract with me, but if I remember correctly it says something like: There is a 3-year freeze if a... -

Comair Training
Thanx skid... I think he answered 1, 2 and 3 pretty well. One thing on your first question, Comair wants you to finish training, and will go out of their way to help you meen the standards, which is indicitive of the rest of the company. However its ultimately up to you to meet the standards... -

Comair Training
Its gonna take you approximately 3 months from Indoc to completing IOE. About 2 and a half months to get out of the sims to IOE. Reserve time is a shot in the dark. Used to be about 6 months, but its been 6 months for me, and I was the junior guy until only a few weeks ago. Now of course... -
