I saw the same type of stuff while I was there as C172MQI described. CommutAir's management acted in the same capacity as most airlines' unions. They really do their best to protect their pilots.

Here's another thread from October... I'm hoping current pilots from both CommutAir and Mesaba will chime in. Second hand and years old information only goes so far. Good luck.
