Like I said, I don't know much about these flow thru agreements. Maybe there is something I'm missing. If it were up to me, I'd take my own career by the horns and move to NWA on my own, NOW, not when someone else determines my fate.
Am I off base?
Definitely understand your point, but from what I've heard (from XJ captains who have applied) is that NWA isn't even looking at Mesaba resumes. The only people who are getting on with NWA out of Mesaba right now are those who were actually hired before the bancruptcy and then furloughed. As far as I've heard, applying with mainline on your own isn't really an option for anyone currently employed by Mesaba.
