Comair Minimums

[Flying Illini]

Are the minimums still 1200/200? If so, is 1200 a deal-breaker?

Fax your resume in ASAP.. You might be surprised!

 

[Flying Illini]

Thanks, I just checked Comair's website (should've done that first) and saw what you listed above.

 

[AV1ATRX]

Does Comair pay during training? How about providing a hotel room?

 

[captainv]

@ $250/week while in training ($245, i think). they'll pay for a week in the hotel.

plenty of affordable crashpads though. we squeezed 7 guys into a 3-bedroom. a bit cramped but we had a great time. once you start flying, it's rare to have more than 2 or 3 guys there at a time...

 

[dgarro]

Anybody out ther has the April 04 class at comair,please PM me I am interested in looking for a crash pad to share around the range of $185-265 one we all get our own room during training.Otherwise once we are on line sharing aroom is OK but not during training. Later DGARRO

 

[chperplt]

Don't worry about a crashpad until you get to CVG. During your first week in the hotel, you will have plenty of time to crash pad hunt. Plenty of pads on the board in the training center.

As long as you don't mind working for the same wage for the next 5 years, you meet the mins!!!

 

[Wacopilot]

Are you serious!

asarjfo you dork...your just ticked that they will still be making more than you. in five years.......lol

Actually, a new hire won't have any freeze. At the end of their first year, they get bumped to 2nd year pay, and in their second year the freeze ends.

 

[imacdog]

For those who have recently been hired at Comair, how long did you have between your interview and class date? Thanks.

Flightstar?

Flying Illini, do you happen to work at Flightstar at Willard? I figured your aircraft types and screen name were a match. I'm furloughed from Independence and starting class at ASA next week. I live in Champaign and looked into flying at Flightstar, just wondering if I could get some info from you if you have any. Shoot me an email at [email protected] if you get a chance, I appreciate it.

I don't know where you get your numbers, but that is not exactly true. Please, stop with the name calling.....it really hurts.

 

[asarjfo]

WHAT? So you are saying that there will be in an increase from 2nd year pay to 3rd year pay? How does the freeze end?

 

[Flying Illini]

I thought the freeze ended in 07 OR if no new aircraft arrived on property.

Therefore, newhires would not see the pay freeze.

Loa

asarjfo,


You need to do your homework........ It is a 2 yr. longevity freeze and the 6/05 contractual raise is gone. That being said:

Example: New hire with 6/05 DOH. First year probationary pay after that he/she gets the 2nd. yr pay rate on 6/06 per the LOA. Then when the 3rd year anniversary happens the 2 year LONGEVITY freeze is up and guess what??? 3rd. year pay.... etc....

The people that this affects the most is current comair pilots, the only thing a new hire looses out on is the 6/05 contractual raise. Get your facts straight before you post........ shafted

 

[Hovernut]

WHAT? So you are saying that there will be in an increase from 2nd year pay to 3rd year pay? How does the freeze end?

Hmmm, last I looked it was a TWO YEAR freeze...do the math!

For those in Rio Linda, new hire wage for 1 year, get bumped to 2nd year pay for a year.....freeze thaws....get next longevity raise as scheduled! So, new hires are effectively disaffected by the freeze.

 

[TIGV]

Still nothing in the mail.....I guess I got too much time huh ?

 

[chperplt]

Still nothing in the mail.....I guess I got too much time huh ?

What are you expecting in the mail? They will call you for an interview.

 

[TIGV]

Just an expression, honestly though, after doing the finances, I'm not sure I could afford to say yes.
In the 18 months I've been waiting on them I managed to drag my butt out of debt again, not sure I want to head back into debtsville and spend the next 4+ years malnourished, did that at TSA.......
Sigh....
Aviation ?
I'd rather roast my wang in a waffle-press !!

Sorry folks, just a little down right now but hey least I'm still flying right ? Right ??

 

[dgarro]

Dude, I applied 2 years ago you know what nothing!!! Then out of the blue a lady from HR called me in SEPT 2004 Tel intereview I was also at the time nursing a serious hangover. The lady offered me a Sept 21 2004 interview, voila I have a april 04 class, I am sooo excited !!! As chrpelt said "PUT IT IN DUDE" You never know. I just d'ont recommend the hangover for a telephone interview.

Good luck

You guys are RIGHT!!!! It was a GREAT DEAL .......I mean what was I thinking saying nasty things about your wonderful new TA!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

Illini, you thinking of leaning towards the airlines? One of our buddies just got hired on there, he might be good to talk to if you do apply.
