Comair pilots based @ JFK...

[CFINY]

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you Comair new hire got JFK as a base yet?
Also, how junior JFK base is/will be, and one more, how Comair aword bases to new hired,do they go by age, by last 4 digits of ss#, or what???

Thanks.

JFK is senior and junior depending on what you want. I choose it as it enables me to drive to work instead of a two leg commute to cvg. You should have no problem getting jfk. JFK and the CL-700 are going to new hires.

Thanks Mike767,

How about choosing your base, how is that done?
Another words, who choose first in class, the older new hired,
or the one with lower/higher ss#???
Please explain.

Thx.

Class seniority is by age.

Thank you!

How many crews are they going to have @ JFK?,
and also, will they have both 200's and 700' at JFK?, or only CRJ200's?

Thx.

JFK will intially have 80 FO's and CA's and is due for more expansion. The 700 is a strong possiblity and they are not dumping money into JFK for nothing. Just the parking alone is costing the company a substantial amount which equates to how serious they want us in NYC.

Holding a line when?? Once they get all the crews there by December??

I saw a new hire class in ops the other day, 2 are going to JFK by choice, the others are CVG based.

I was told that most crews (FO'S) will be in JFK by October first. Not looking for a fight just stating what I was told by people making crew decisions in the company.UBA757
