1) Stay on certificate, so no indoc, drug testing, etc., to remain on Mesaba 200 or 900 aircraft.
2) does the grandfathered rate apply to Mesaba folks who displace into a Colgan SAAB? I'd hope so, but I doubt it...
#1, not an option for many of us
#2 No. If you go to a Colgan base on the Saab you go at thier pay rates. The grandfather rate was only good as long as you stayed on a Mesaba based Saab (which won't exist by the end of the year) Not that it matters because with the fences only Colgan pilots will hold captain on the Saabs anyway.
