So put your application in now and you will ahead of the hiring wave when Mesaba starts to crank up hiring process. Most hiring will be into CRJ900 and CRJ200s. Saab is more or less fully staffed for now. I know this info first hand because Director of Ops talked to us about this during RGS this month.
I am guessing he meant 50 to 70 total including the 40 in the pool?
And and as far as where mesaba will be hiring into...who knows maybe we could see a little hiring into the saab? one could hope at least
oh and fyi...when I was in ground school in october the DO also said that mesaba's seniority list would be "anywhere from 1200 to 1500 this time next year"....so I think stuff said like that must be taken with a grain of salt.
