		Comair was, to some, the envy of the regional airline industry.
		As a result of my exposure to Comair, SkyWest, and several other regional airlines, I've come to the conclusion that SkyWest may well be the best regional airline in the country to work for.

		Of the ones who make it to be flight instructors there, nearly all of them wind up going on to fly at Comair or some other airline shortly after finishing up their term as a flight instructor.
		One of the things I observed, which is probably still the case, is that the people who were Comair Aviation Academy instructors and students were generally far better prepared than those from the outside, even though the ones from the outside typically had significantly more experience.
