New mins for Comair 600 total, 100 multi.
November 2, 2006
TO: Comair Pilots
FROM: Deb Arthur, Supervisor of Recruiting
Todd McGregor, Flight Ops Pilot Recruiter
RE: Flight Operations recruiting efforts
In an effort to maintain optimum staffing levels throughout the organization, the Human
Resources department constantly evaluates our recruiting efforts. Our primary goal is to ensure
that we are best positioned to recruit new talent given the challenges we’re facing in our industry
and our company.
For the past several months, the Flight Operations and Human Resources departments have been
working with representatives from the Training department to explore new ways to recruit
competitively. One way for us to improve our opportunities to attract new candidates is to
restructure our training to match the experience level of available candidates.
Comair Training is making numerous changes to its current new-hire training program to build
an Advanced CRJ Training Program that combines the best elements of an industry proven Jet
Transition Program with our current CRJ initial program.
Revised Minimums Now Available
This advanced training class, which will be available January 8th, 2006, will allow Comair to
lower our overall minimum flight time requirements while still attracting the highest-quality
individuals available in the industry today. Effective immediately, we will be able to hire
candidates who have 600 hours Total Time and 100 hours Multi-Engine time. These revised
minimums will increase the number of “first-look” candidates considering Comair, which gives
us a better opportunity to recruit the most talented pilots to our airline. As always, we will
continue to look for the best pilots to fill our First Officer vacancies.
We wanted you to be the first to know about these changes. We will begin communicating this
new training program and our revised minimums through an ad campaign in several major
publications, at job fairs and our web site in the coming weeks.
Please continue to refer qualified candidates to us through the employee referral program (visit
EPIC for details). If you refer a candidate who is later hired by Comair and remains on the job
for six months, you will receive a referral bonus of $500.
We remain committed to doing everything possible to find and hire the most outstanding pilots
into our airline. Thank you in advance for your support in these efforts.
