COMAIR Pilots get $31,000 each severance

[CRJ puppy]

This is just another reason to not be a career pilot for a staffing company ie contract carrier. Be it Comair, Skywest etc! If a pilot decides to do that don't expect sympathy from me.

As was stated earlier in the thread, Comair was not a contract carrier. It was (and still is) a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines.

Thank You. I did get mine. I'm now the Director of Flight Operations for a Fortune 500 company..............Now who's the Idiot???
Have fun scraping the bottom the rest of your life unless maybe you change your attitude and make your own way.
either way.............good luck.

is that still a two-man/1 airplane deal out of PHL area flying a Challenger 601? And now they want to turn the operation over to a management company? Color me impressed.

Probably best not to assume you know someone based on a few random posts on a web board...

And who did I assume to know??? It's not who I know but what I know.

You're right, let's stick to the facts. Please share with me your detailed knowledge of Comair.

I thought Comair was sold by Delta years ago or was that ASA?

UMMMM...Yes they were..

Respectfully, you are incorrect. There never was any contract between Delta and Comair as it was a subsidiary. Therefore, rates, block hours, bases etc could be changed at will without violating a contract or without requiring the renogotiation of a contract.

Rates at which Comair was reimbursed on the books could be changed at will also, without notice. This is why, in spite of record profits, Comair was taken into bankruptcy (and emerged from bankruptcy) simultaneously with Delta.

Someone is trying to get a group together for an Emerald Coast interview prep session in TPA. Good Luck!!

Personally, I wouldn't do the Emerald interview prep unless you know specifically what airline you want them to help you out with, or, once you land an interview. However, once you know, they do a GREAT job....with a money back guarantee! Well worth the $$$.

....Hovernut, they definitely helped me land the gig at JB that cold winter day.
