What's the thinking of pilots at Commutair, guys? Wait it out there for a major as PIC or move to a CRJ after getting some pic there?

It's kind of mixed bag. Most of the captains we have had leave have gone to a major. We've had a couple go to other regionals to try to get some jet time. Me personally, I'm gonna wait out for a major unless C5 closes shop and I don't have a choice. We've had a lot of FOs bail for other regionals

When we're all only getting 12 days off per month when rest rules kick in, those that have abandoned ship will be looking pretty smart.

Yes! You too can be the tool that over-emphasizes the "T" in your radio read-backs. "Commu-TARE xxxx"

Weight restriction for one. Also, there are some dashes that don't even have jumpseats. Commutair is an option for me to get to work, but I'd like to know there's a jumpseat available before I try them. So.......are you guys able to take jumpseaters?

Yes our dashes are equipped with jumpseats and yes we can take jumpseaters barring any weight restrictio. Most captains here will try their best to get you on. If you don't mind my asking, where do you commute out of? Some of our routes get more weight restricted died to normal pax loads.
