At least some growth next year.

It all varies. It helps if you have someone here that can walk your resume in. I had 3000 hrs and 2000 was 121 time in a Dash. I didn't have anyone walk mine in. When I faxed my resume in I also faxed in a very well written letter of recommendation that helped I think. If you do get an interview make sure you have your ATP written done. It can't hurt to put your stuff in. That is the only way you will find out.

thats good news for comair, that they still will recieve those aircraft even when DAL mgt wants consession. Its not rocket science what is going on with the Mainline asking for the lowest bidder for who gets the RJ airplanes. If mainline was losing money flying an RJ they would not add any aircraft and no more growth. but they are making money with them so they will give them to the airline they will make the most money with and here it is Comair getting more and soon ASA will get more. DAL mgt already knows who they will give the airplanes to, but it cant hurt them to ask ,hey you want more aircraft and grwoth will give it to you if you take consessions becuase we know that other airlines have taken the bait to do so.

Well, I guess they showed their stripes. I have said from the start they were full of sh it. These 8 700's were part of the carrot.
