Tinpusher007, Two last questions if you will be so kind as to answer them. Does a single, CFI from Washington State, with 850/70 TT have much a chance getting hired in October, being that I am buying the 70 hours in a Beech Travel Scare in Texas. Finally, what are the main things to study to look damn professional...and well actually be semi-competent to the interviewers at Mesaba. Thanks for any response, even the possible "F U newbie."
