2 clases a month of 8 each for the rest of the year. (Planned). I don't know how far in advance the clases are filled with the guys in the pool, but for sure there's a lot of swimmers.

Some of the new city pairs are for October:
CVG-BDL
CVG-BOS
CVG-EWR
CVG-LGA
CVG-SAT
CVG-MEM
CVG-MCI
CVG-MIA
CVG-TPA

I am not certain, but I heard that we are taking some of Freedom's 900 that were based in the New York area. I also heard we are going to increase our flying to 72 daily flights.

my understanding is that the pool is close to being drained, and thats why they are interviewing again

Well I guess that most of the people in the pool have class dates, but the upcoming interviews are for a pool with no specific class dates, anyhow, don't take my word for it, I'm not in the trainning department or the interview team, actually, I don't even drive close to nonconnah.........

Are Mesaba and Pinnacle offering any preferential hiring for furloughed Comair pilots?

They might come in handy if you're picking up CRJ flying in CVG or JFK, since a lot of them live there already...

I personally like every single guy I met from Comair here in 9E, so good luck !
