Well, the feeling I get from this thread (pgs 40-60) seem that people are saying Comair is fat on FOs and that they haven't flown in several weeks while on reserve. 
Please correct me if my assumption is incorrect?
Also, I'm from the MSP area and it seems that a place like Mesaba might be a better bet for me since they are hiring street captains (limited numbers) and several FOs recently hired are being upgraded within a few months (of course they meet ATP mins, etc). Seeing that I also meet ATP mins I wonder if trying there would be better than sitting on reserve for 10-12 months (seemingly flying very little, according to this thread) and then still not upgrading for 3-4yrs at best....
Sorry, not whining just wondering if what I read on here is true.

Yeah I'm flying a decent amount of time too now. I'm actually kinda not wanting to fly now. I kinda like sitting around doing nothing at home or in NYC. But then again, I actually like the city. So take our posts with a grain of salt. I'm sure if I were bidding to fly, I'd be flying a lot more too.

hmmm...I could see myself sitting back and pulling in guarantee, bartending, and hitting on NYU art majors at Starbucks on hard days off. I might start liking Comair for different reasons than I originally had for wanting a job there.

Im so mad, I referred a good friend of mine, he had like 1200 TT and 200 multi, after the inteview the interviewers told him to "send more of his friends up to comair from OSU", then they didnt hire him...... I feel so bad. IF they wont hire my friend with all that time, (hes a great guy) then who ARE they hiring? They have no claim to say "we cant get new hires" i just dont get it
