last DOH at Comair

[N813CA]

what will be the most junior FO at Comair when it is done DOH?

1999?

Yikes!

With Comair's plan for 460 pilots and 44 aircraft:
Most junior captain will probably have a DOH of '91 or maybe '92.
Most junior FO will have a DOH of '99.

Actually with all the resignations, buy-outs, early retirements and voluntary furloughs, it's looking like the most junior FO will be a '05 or '06 DOH. It will be clearer in Jan after all the voluntaries etc leave.

I still believe Delta is pulling the "smack down, build up, sell off" of Comair..

I'm guessing it's more a part out the pieces without the crews unfortunately...

Airlines with 45-64yo geriatric regional pilots are a hot commodity these days!

God, that's not long after I got on with ASA.... scary.

Especially airlines with fossil crews and no guarantees of either fleet size or block hours.

Is L B still over there? He would have been maybe an '88 DOH.

I wonder what Delta could do to mitigate their risk to an age discrimination lawsuit...

Who would be the plaintiff, the younger guys?

Because regional vs. major lawsuits have been so successful, right?

Not really sure how that is related.

Don't know about DOHs but the last Comair flight I jumpseated on (DCA-JFK and back) the crew looked about as senior as what you'd see here at AMR. Crusty old CA and F/O.

Needless to say, class acts, both of them - thanks for the ride, gents. It is an absolute shame what is happening to your airline. I wish you guys the best, from one bankrupt soon-to-be bottom feedin' AMR pilot.
