If the staffing was simply for increased staffing due to Delta's request then Mesaba wouldn't have pulled people off the SAAB for the CRJ only to start hiring back into the SAAB a few months later. The merger was announced before they started pulling SAAB fo's for the 900. If Delta has just wanted increased staffing then they would have never done the SAAB transfers. Something was decided recently and thus the need to hire for all planes, including new FOs for the SAAB. If this is not the case there really is no logic in retraining SAAB FOs just to retrain them and then hire new people and train them for the SAAB. I'm not being overly optimistic, but no one has ever given me a good answer for why they did the SAAB transfers only to hire right back into the SAAB. The best answer I have heard is that new planes will be announced after the merger is officially started.

It's clear that the saab realignment came before XJ was told to start hiring in large numbers again. They have nothing to do with each other because as you said, it makes no sense to realign knowing they'd have to hire.

I got the "thanks but no thanks" email today too, times were 909/32.

Very odd. Seems like their published mins are more like published maximums.

Their mins are 600TT/50 multi. That means you need both, you only have just over half their multi requirements....

How long between when you applied and when you got the email?

BroncoBird

hey all...i applied back on sept. 19 and still have heard nothing back yet. how many others are in this boat too?

CRJPlt

I applied a week after you and nothing but I noticed my app was updated a few days later. Not sure if it was looked at or not? But I did just update mine today. I had put that I could start on the 3rd of November because I wasn't sure when I would be furloughed from Mesa, but it now looks like my date is this Sunday the 19th so I put I could now start on Oct 27. This give me a week to get my things in order. But I'm not sure if by updating it puts me at the back or on the top? Hmmm.....

nah that cant be true, I had 850tt/600 at the time of my interview...I think that I had the least amount of time outta everyone there. there were guys with 2000 hrs and 121 experience there and I think everyone got hired.
