I would still love to fly. Im pretty far down on that list to. But for me thats a good thing. It gives me more time to consider a few different things. If it dosent pan out in the next year or two and I got a recall I would take it.

I agree with this as I have debated applying to Colgan the past week or so. After the furlough I was able to find a full time CFI gig that pays much better than Colgan. I've been working on my ATP times (need the X-C! plenty of TT) and told myself I wouldn't leave for another regional w/o the ATP. Now that Colgan and Eagle are hiring I'm debating getting out of instructing again to resume building something other than SE piston time. After getting burned with the Comair boom-bust hiring of 08 I'm very leary to leave a good job only to get burned again. Most likely I remain instructing for another year to get my ATP and look for other options to continue my career should I still remain furloughed, which is very likely as I'm very low on the recall list.

I love how it says that the 70 Seat reconfiguration is going to be done by outside MX! Way to go Comair, thanks for the job security!!
I lose more and more faith in this company every day. Nice for our union to stick up and try to get some work in house for us. Oh wait...they keep getting the union dues every month, that's all that counts I guess.

I just can't wait to see the first class passengers standing in the back of the plane with the other 10 people that want to use the one lavatory! Makes sense, turn a 70 seater into a 65 seater...and you only need one lav :-) Bad enough with 50 people in the CRJ filling up (and stinking up) the lav...now it will be 15 more people and longer flights, using one lav. Don't forget the Skyline chili guys, that will surely fill up the lav!

This interior mod is being paid for by Delta not Comair...sooo they get to choose the who does the mods. We got together with SkyWest/ASA and Delta Supply Chain to determine which vendors to use for the materials used for the mods. United Express has been using this configuration on their 700's for a while now.
