Which is very unfortunate. You guys got the shaft a long with other employees. I've seen alot of good friends and employees leave, get furloughed, or let go.

I'm starting to think the only happy Comair employee is a former Comair employee.

Comair 2002-@'04 was the funnest time I've had flying. Alot of good layovers, big cities, new focus cities, movement, new planes etc....Sad to see it end up this way.....


'05, and '06 was a completely different story

Which begs the question; What motivation does a current Comair FO have for staying?(No matter how many years of service.) Is it the one and only hope of a buy out?!?! I left just recently after 4 years for greener pastures and get asked the question all the time; what are all the FO's that know they are going to get furloughed waiting on? Does any one have any good response. With all the regionals and some majors hiring, what are you guys and gals waiting for?

I think the more senior F.O.'s are working hard to avoid a lateral move if at all possible.

'05-Present was a completely different story
I hope you don't mind. I fixed it so I could agree even more.

It depends heavily on how you define greener pastures. For me, that doesn't include going to another regional, so that both simplifies/complicates the process. I could get a regional job fairly quickly. The others take a while to land. Plus, QoL-wise, not much has changed so far, so the more senior guys might be waiting for more things to open up. When the downgrades hit, you'll see some more movement.

Some of us can't afford another year of first year pay. When you have a family to feed, $1,200 a month does not put food on the table.

So you guys are gonna wait until all the other regionals hire then u will leave comair and get hired at the bottom of another regional. If u leave now u know at least that u won't be at the bottom Y wait???? The end is in sight and u are just watching it come for u. Leave now and actually be ahead of something.
