A week and a half into training, I can say that top to bottom Mesaba looks like a great company. By now I've spoken to a lot of my classmates who have come from other regionals and the culture and attitude at Mesaba seems great compared to where they came from. We have captains joining our class now, and they're all happy to be there, if not a little cynical - 7 years on the Saab will do that to a man!

To all the new hires, welcome, study hard, and enjoy the ride...
