Mesaba seems like they are getting their stuff together. Does anyone know how the upgrade looks? Ha… I hate being furloughed…. And I am not looking forward to another round of Indoc. . .
I would have to ask how long you have at Comair. If you have less than two years, it might be worth it to jump ship to Mesaba. They just announced they got the 15 -900s and their upgrade is what 2 years? Comair doesn't seem to be making a comeback anytime soon. For Mesaba and Pinnacle, the sky seems to be the limit. They seem the be The Chosen Ones in The New Delta.
