Really? No more Country Inn in Denver? That was an easy walk over to CAE and that's not going to be too convenient for future trainees having to take a van over. Sucks.

I just got this email today:
Dear Pilot:
We have received your payroll discrepancy report in regards to the payment of new hire per diem. We will first be processing requests from those new hires that attended simulator training in JANUARY 2008 through MARCH 2008 before payroll discrepancies from new hires that attended training in 2007.
Due to the number of payroll discrepancies received, we would request that you do not contact the Crew Pay Department via phone if inquiring about the status of your per diem issue. Instead, please be assured that the discrepancy will be resolved as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience on this matter.
Thank you,
Mesaba Airlines, Flight Operations & Administration Department
First, it's nice that they will be "processing requests". Does that mean we are going to get compensated or not? Call me crazy, but shouldn't they be adjusting people who have been waiting for it the longest (i.e. "attended training in 2007") first?
