In the pool....
I interviewed in November. I was told to expect a class in January, but Sharon hasn't called with an exact date yet. Maybe after the holidays.
Very excited. I hope they decide to open a domicile in Dallas. I have family there and it would be a good opportunity to move there. I've read somewhere that even though $$ had been allocated for a DFW domicile, management has decided to hold off for a while. Probably waiting to see if Av Fuel goes up to $10 a gallon if we go to war and if the crap in Venezuala continues.
Does Comair have a message board they use for internal use? I've seen the official Comair website for crewmembers, but it appears to be only open to actual employees, not those of us in the pool.
Thanx!

Hovernut-
Would you like your sim partner to promote your bad v1 cut on this board? If the total time you posted is accurate, it looks like this is your first time in Part 121 training. You should remember that this is a small community. What happens in the sim is between you, your partner, and the sim instructor, it doesn't need to be discussed here.

Getting the Interview
Watcinco,
If you read the 4th message down on the following link, it should answer most of your questions:
http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12746&highlight=comair
If you haven't already booked yourself to go to the Air Inc Conference in Dallas on Jan 25, consider doing it on Monday. I was offered an interview on the spot with Air Inc and I think most people with whom I interviewed with a month after the Air Inc show, also only had contact with Comair via the Air Inc Job Fair. Yeah, it might be a scam, but it makes a huge difference for military guys like us who have no civilian contacts. BTW, if you haven't already been, Air Inc offers a good military transition class the day prior in the same hotel. Consider going....
Yes, military heavy time is very valued. Refueling an eight-ship formation of mixed fighters and heavies, overseas, in the weather, from possibly different countries is very complex, and I seemed to get "extra credit" for my military flying during the interview. Fortunately, I also wasn't asked any questions I didn't already know during the interview. It was a breeze, but I was also prepared! I hate to sell you Air Inc stuff, but I use their books and counseling service on nearly a daily basis.
I made the decision to separate VERY late in the game. I didn't even have my military equivlency done 3 months ago!! I since did that, did my Class I physical, got my ATP, went to the Job Fair, interviewed with Comair and others, have done all of my back ground checks -- all while doing my desk and flying jobs in the Air Force!
I've gotten other offers, but have decided to go with Comair. I did the telephone interview prep for them with Air Inc and Air Inc had me fully prepared. I also studied the gouge on Aviation Interviews.com. It's been a tough 10 wks, but I've landed a flying job in a very tough market, starting my Military Transition VERY LATE, and feel proud to be with Comair.
In the meantime, I'm studying 737 stuff now -- I'm getting my type rating next month, because it free (GI Bill and WIA). I may never use it (everyone thinks you're going to SWA if you get a 737 TR, but it ain't true), but it's just one more thing to add to my ticket. Besides, I have to do something while I'm waiting for my Comair class.
Lastly, once you get the interview, be confident and enthusiastic. And don't walk in with the attitude that you're overqualified and they should just hand you the job. You may get a rude awakening! Be enthusiastic, positive, yet humble. An employer wants to see that. Comair's a great company to get on with now. They're expanding rapidly and new hires have much upward momentum.
Best of luck.
P.S. -- if you haven't already been to Men's Warehouse or where ever you shop for clothes, remember to update your business suit for a Pilot job fair or interview. "Blue suit, red tie." I can't tell you some of the ghastly attire I saw at the Oct Job Fair. Yikes! When the person you're shaking the hand with evaluates you in about 5 seconds, the last thing you need is for them to be staring at the BROWN suit and tie you wore when you got married 10 years ago. Yeah, you're a pinguin and look like everyone else. But let your ATTITUDE stand you out from the crowd. Say it with me: "Blue suit, red tie", "Blue suit, red tie" ...
Cheers

...takes marbles and goes back home...
It is so hard to convey feelings across these short printed words. So often they are taken the wrong way. I have nothing but the highest respect for my sim partner, we worked d-a-m-ned hard together, but things just didn't work out. I wish I han't made any gender reference in my posts, either; again, people reading something into my post that's totally off the wall.
All's I simply wanted to get across is the fact that Comair's training department is TOP NOTCH and goes to great lengths to get people through successfully.
p.b. yes, it was my 1st 121 training and I might add that it was awful demanding. I might also add my v1 cuts are pretty decent! Nothing like the smell of hydraulic fluid in the morining!

Hover - diarrhea of the mouth is an awfully bad thing in this business. I would take a deep deep breath and check the "good job self" attitude asap. A little humility will go a long way and remember, there are 1500+ other guys/gals who passed their checkrides too.
What happens in the sim stays in the sim....kind of like mexico. Good luck and welcome aboard.

low multi
I've noticed on the Aviation Interviews web site that Comair has hired several people with less than 200 multi. Anyone have any idea how these people got the call? I keep sending in resumes to them with close to 3000 total time and about 130 multi with all the other requirements they list on their site, but no calls. Help if you can...
Thanks

I wouldn't get Sprint if you plan to actually FLY with Comair. It works fine in Cincy, but go on the road and the coverage is less than stellar.
As far as a website to hang out, the only one I know of is the ALPA board, and you have to be a member first. Sorry about that. Good luck to all.

I know a few people with sprint here in Cincinnati, and they seem too have little trouble.....But, I was a sprint customer for several years, finally cut the rope and now have Verizon and love it. Great price, great service, great customer service.......GO VERIZON...especially if you have sprint.........arrrggg on sprint....the national wide coverage is awesome.....never have too much trouble connnecting...at least not the same trouble I had with sprint......

NEW Comair domicile info?
Skydiverdriver, RichO,
Thanks for the cell phone info. I think I'll stick with AT&T for the short term. I'll do some more research once I start sim training.
BTW, does anyone have any NEW latest word about a new Comair domicile? Last I heard in late-December was that $$ was put aside for DFW, but that that was on hold for a while.
I'm REALLY hoping for DFW still.
Thanks!!
