|  Which Regionals are hiring... Hello all, I have been asked recently by some fellow aviators "which regionals are currently hiring?". While I am pretty positive on some I have questions about others, so along with posting what I know, I will also ask about certain rumors I have heard. What I know for sure: ExpressJet--Hiring (600-100) ASA--Hiring (600-100) American Eagle--Hiring(minimums--?) Mesa--Hiring(minimums--?) Comair--will be furloughing approx. 200 pilots What I have questions about: Rumor that Delta may liquidate Comair entirely... Rumor that CHQ will be furloughing approx. 200 pilots... Heard SkyWest is putting a hold on hiring due to ASA expansion... Heard JetBlue is lowering certain minimums for new ERJ 170/190... If anyone can provide some input about the above rumors I would greatly appreciate it. I'm sure others on this forum would like to hear the facts as well.

| Just a question, Why does everybody rip on Mesa? They are a member of ALPA and received the award for 2005 best regional airline. I don't see why everyone on this forum targets Mesa as a bad company to work for. Of course the pay is low but Mesa is like any other regional in that respect. I think all the regionals are changing for the better due to the increased expansion since the majors have been filing for ch. 11 I think the 4 airlines that will lead in the next 10 years will be Jetblue Southwest America West/Us Air Continental |

| Agent Smith | Please read the thread before replying. No one "ripped" on Mesa.

Hey you don't think Delta is holding that strike on them do you? And I never thought management would EVER hold grudges. (sarcasm) I think PSA is hiring. Anyone know?

 | God, those poor Comair guys.....That's all I can say. Regardless of what you guys think of the "culture" of the industry, as in this stuff just happens.......These people at Comair are REAL people with REAL families making a REAL career at Comair. 6 months ago Comair was hiring almost as many pilots a month as any other regional and expanding dominiciles. Regardless of what you think, you cannot deny that Comair is one of the best/most efficient regionals in all aspects and if they go, it begs the question what's the point?

Your are correct, Sir! I have many friends at Comair who are about to get the shaft, I just hope that everything works out for them in the long run. It is truly a shame that such a competant regional airline is being forced to make cutbacks due to their affiliation with Delta. Good luck to all those pilots!

| "It is truly a shame that such a competant regional airline is being forced to make cutbacks due to their affiliation with Delta" Is DCA still saying "Being owned by Delta means everything?" Kinda puts a different twist on THAT saying, now, doesn't it? |

People just need to apply somewhere other than Comair for now, this doesn't affect DCA instructors anymore than any other instructor out there looking for a job. In my opinion...
