Unless something comes up in a background check, no. They're are occasionally needs to change class dates though. So even if you are offered a July 1 class for example, there is a chance (small) that the date could slide.

It seems like it is always a good idea to give minimum notice in this business just in case. Unless you know your current employer is willing to work with you if your dates change at the last minute.

RJ85FO Thankyou for the response look forward to seeing you on the line.

RJ85FO what is the rules for off duty Flight Instruction at Mesaba?

Mesabah

You can flight instruct on the side, it does not count towards the 1000hr limit. However, if you want to flight instruct after coming home from a four day, you are hardcore!

since im older and have bills i have to supplement somehow. do they let you fly 135 on a day off? i know there is the 1000 hour thing. but i wont have a class till later and there is no way i will go over the 1000 hours.
how much and when does overtime start after the 75 hours?
also what is a typical schedule like.
i also see that upgrades can come quickley, i was told about 8-12 months. what are the requirments.

thanks, i guess all the new hires owe a lot of beers (PBR thats all we can afford.)

I second that!

According to the book, no. I know a guy here that does do it with specific permission from the Chief Pilot. He fly's mostly high-speeds here so the 1000 hour limit is never really an issue. I would say on a case-by-case basis you could get approval to do it.

I am certainly not advocating this, but I know of some who may on a day off fly a King Air and receive compensation. Use your judgement, and do what you need to do.

As was mentioned before, flight instructing is allowed and does not count against your flight time limitations.

RJ85FO

You are not paid "overtime" just for exceeding 75 hours. You will get premium pay only if: You voluntarity add a trip (from open time), you get extended, or you get junior manned. If you have an 86 hour line, you just get 86 hours of straight pay.

MEM line average credit is about 86 hours. 11-13 days off.

ATP minimums and 1000 hours of Mesaba flight time. The 1000 hours may be reduced to 500 if needed to fill vacancies. Yes! Upgrades are running quickly around here right now. I suggest you fly your A$$ off to get the required company time ASAP. We have hired street captains in the past and we MIGHT do it again.

Welcome to Mesaba.
