Comair and the Reserves

[Ralph Wiggum]

Any Military reservist/Comair folks out there who can tell me how the Comair contract deals with reservists? Specifically, how much time off (say, per month) will I be able to take off in order to drill? Can I take as much as I want, or is there a cap? Are there any company ramifications to drilling with the reserves as much as possible? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not in the military, so I can only tell you what I've heard, but I believe that it is a federal law that companys have to give you time off for reserve duty. I believe if Uncle Sam wants you, they have to let you go. I'm sorry that I don't have any specifics, but I know people who have done this for long periods and came back only to go to upgrade class. It sounds like a great way to get out of being an FO for so long, as well as serving your country. Hope this helps.
