I've never heard of this before, unless of course you've actually interviewed with said company. The letter basically said "we have other applicants with more attractive qualifications" (let it be known that he and I have almost identical backgrounds and flying experience).

I personally know of one person and have heard from other Comair guys that got the no thanks email. They didn't even get a chance to interview. Ive had my stuff in for over a month and haven't heard anything, which is fine, be because I would be at the end of the hiring wave. Also, I really do not want to be affliated with Delta again!

I honestly am not trying to start anything. But if thats true it's rediculous. I made some friends with Comair pilots in my interview.

Just curious if something so childish is true? or b.s.
I really dont think that is true. Everyone I have talked to has great things to say about Mesaba and going there. The Comair pilot group is a great group of folks... minus a few of course... but every airline has theirs. I would really be surprised if this were true, but am pretty sure it is not.

Yup. You are right. I have not talked to anyone at XJ who said anything bad about ex Comair guys. If anything I've heard positive things about Comair guys. Most XJ guys welcome Comair folks simply because you guys bring prior 121 experience which makes the transition to XJ a lot easier.

For anyone out there that interviewed with Mesaba, how long did it take after the interview to get a response regarding if you are hired or not? I have an interview with them this Thursday and was curious.

Good luck to everyone.

Two days for me. Others have waited up to a week. Just depends on what is going on in HR at the time.

It took two days for me to get a call. Some others in my same class had gotten the call one week later. It varies, I guess.
