On a different subject, Mesaba will start flying CRJ900 to the following new destinations: SEA, EWR, ORF, YEG, SAV and RIC starting September 2009 and returns to OMA, SYR, CMH, and MSY.

CRJ200 will start flying to CMI, RDU and returns to GRR, RAP, LAN, AZO, and MSN starting September 2009.

I do not think people should be picking up open time as long as there is one Mesaba pilot on furlough.

I hope those furloughed will be back real soon.
