We've had our differences over the years, but it is a sad day when an airline has its last flight.

Good luck to you all.

You were a proud pilot group.
 
Agreed.
 
Good luck guys, I tracked the last flight today. Coming from a guy that was in new hire class at ASA when the announcement was made, its scary to think about how easily that could have been us (or anyone else... and still could be...).

You are correct, it could be any of the regionals. None are safe. I hope that everyone will see that and prepare their lives accordingly. I was at CMR from 99-08 and loved my time there. At the time I wouldn't have thought about them shutting the place down, it just couldn't happen. Once I left and moved on to better positions and was able to look back, I could see it was only a matter of time.

I wish everyone that was still there all the best and if you need any help finding a job, let me know. I will do everything in my power to help out.

I'm going to add my "Good Luck" to you all also. I was there 1985 to early '88. Had a great time, it was my bridge from a tiny commuter in Raleigh to getting hired at TWA. It's a shame the powers that be put it down.
 
All the best to the COMAIR guys and gals, I hope you find a good place to hang your hat, if you decide to look abroad, all of us on the expat market will try to get information for you. All the best.
 
Goodluck to OO'ers. Met sveral over the years and all where very profesional. Good inflt product, too.
 
They fought the good fight, put their money where their mouth was and struck for the right reasons, and have always been welcoming to JS on.
 
Best of luck in the future for the CMR pilots. I've been through an airline shutdown, many here have been through furlough(s). It's tough, sad, scary, frustrating, but you will make it through. I found a better job after my shutdown and I wish the best for you.
 
Farewell guys. Had one of your senior captains' on my jumpseat on the last day of operation. We had a nice chat and talked about how great an operation Comair once was. Sorry to see ya go...
 
It's oh so true, at one time, Comair was one of the Best Regional Jobs out there. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, "there but for the Grace of God go I". We are all just one flight away from humility.
 
Best to all the Comair pilots.
 
Just curious, did ALPA national ever issue any condolences or letter or anything to the Comair pilot group? I don't have access to the member log in anymore but the home page welcomes the NFL refs back to work on the 28th, but not a word on Comair.

Dave, they did. It was a very heart felt letter from the General himself. He even said he's urging all MEC Chairmen out there to get Comair pilots preferential hiring......at other regional carriers.
