At comair, we'll get the planes or we won't, we'll upgrade quick or we won't, we'll get another base or we won't, we'll merge with ASA/Delta or we won't, but we won't give back a lousy penny of our measly salaries because we're already underpaid.
Comair really is a great place to work. Being a pilot, though, is a great job in a really sh^tty industry. I tend to worry more about quality of life than upgrade time because that's something I can control whereas the other will happen when it happens. [/B][/QUOTE]
Ditto!
If upgrade time is a strong consideration in your decision making process, Comair is probably not the airline for you. Growth will probably be slowing down dramatically given the cut throat competition from other lower cost products being offered in today's regional market.
Comair is a company which offers long term stability, better quality of life, and livable compensation over the long run as opposed to the short sighted (in my opinion) quick upgrade feeding frenzy that seems to be rampant at other carriers. I am able to sleep at night comforted by the knowledge that even if I should never sit in the window seat of a "Heavy" at a legacy carrier (and let's face it--most of us never will given the dramatic changes in our industry), I will still be able to have a prosperous career at a quality regional. It's all about setting priorities based on your specific situation and then creating a game plan which addresses these aspirations. Best of luck either way.
