Thank you all very much for your responses. I in fact visited Comair academy last August, in Sandford, right outside Orlando. The facilities were great - a huge fleet, great flight planning areas and sophisticated weather briefing. I was thouroughly impressed and am looking forward to the changes upcoming.
However, be warned about a few things. They mention in their ads that 97% of their graduates get jobs at the airline. Basically, after you complete your training they may hire you as a flight instructor at the academy; the hire rate for this is not nearly as high. The 97% comes from the people who have already built hours as Comair flight instructors. It is them who get the 97% rate. So if you make it past the first stage of getting hired as an instructor, you're in, but this first stage is the killer.
Anyway, I hope this sheds light on the subject.
Cheers,
Matt
