Bring good attitude, ask questions, study like you never did before, don't go home on the weekends, and whatever else you think you need in order to make sure you're not behind in ground school...and you'd be just fine.

I'd be more than happy to answer any 900 training questions you might have.

Welcome aboard!
I think what it comes down to is experience, decision making skills. A guy with 100+ hrs. of multi engine times obviously has more experience than the guy with 19 hrs. of Multi. You can teach a nutless monkey to fly an RJ. Let's be honest, flying an RJ is not that hard!!

But anyway, we could talk about this all day long...

To get back on topic. Nobody answered my question, yet. What's the word on Mesaba hiring 200 more people? True? Rumor?
