Take the interview. I interviewed with them a year ago for a street captain position and in my opinion they seemed like a great company. Kinda like Comair did in 2003.

If you get the job and a class date, then you can decide. Do I sit at home waiting for Comair to wake up from the coma? Or do I start over at Mesaba, the company to be at? If there's merger news or Mesa flatlines in the meantime, that's just more info for your decision.

If my family didn't have 5 years worth of roots in CVG I'd be at Mesaba in a heartbeat. But that's just my two cents.

It's got some significant pros and cons. In my opinion the pros are known and the cons depend entirely on Delta and newguy4.
