Comair Interview

Interviewed with Comair on March 6, 2007. Flew out to CVG the day before the interview and stayed at the Baymont Hotel.

Have you heard anything yet?

You had to pay for your own hotel? Did you have to pay to get there too?

Haven't heard anything, yet! Hopefully soon. You have to pay for your own hotel, but you get the Comair Rate. They pay for the flight to/from CVG. I even got First Class on the way there.

Cool, If i ever interview here, all I have to pay for is the gas to get me the 5 miles from my door step to the GO!:nana2:
