Advertising like this is just a method of attracting higher time applicants since 90% (totally fabricated statistic) of their pilot applicants right now have about 400TT. Still great news for those with upcoming class dates or the desire to join Mesaba.

Guys, would a "street-ish" CPT be able to get DTW? How long to hold a line there? Also, how bad would the smack down be when the F/Os finally start to upgrade?
And lastly, are those 36 CR9's growth, or replacements for 340's?
Thanx for the help...
