The only thing that separates a Mesaba furlough from a furlough at any other airline is that the Mesaba furlough might still have a job right now. Many other pilots have been on the street for much longer and everyone is competing for the same few jobs.
The flow was created specifically for places to fill in case NWA/DAL pilots were furloughed, it just so happens that both parties benefited...your beef shouldn't be with Mesaba it should be with Delta...we still have to meet all the same requirements as anyone else who is applying for the job...i.e. 4 year degree, so on and so forth, we've had 13 guys go...THATS IT
