Default Mesaba - Full Recall

As of 5pm today, Mesaba has issued a vacancy notice for the full recall of ALL furloughed pilots. Classes start April 2.

If anyone is looking to Mesaba as a possible employment choice, NOW is the time to apply. Seniority means everything, especially here since this is a fairly senior workforce on average. Apply, interview and without hesitation take the first class date you can get.

Good luck.

They certainly have turned. A lot of ticked off people here now with the whole seat lock scenario as we watch new hires walk onto the jet and get based in MSP.

Two year FO? Try 6 or 7 year FO...

Not sure that I would want to be that new hire either, given the ill will that would probably be tossed their way if things don't get sorted out with seniority rights/pay.

First, I don't work for Mesaba, and don't plan to. IMHO, it doesn't seem like the pilots currently employed there don't have anything to ***** about, nor should they direct their ill will towards new hires. If they didn't want to be seat locked, they should have had their MEC fight to take that out of the contract during negotiations. They should work together and direct that ill-will towards the company.

They won't be getting more money. We have a blended pay rate for FO's, so it doesn't matter the airplane you fly, we all get the same pay.

I am hoping we are all adult enough to not direct the feelings toward the new hires. It certainly isn't their fault. I was simply making the point that the way the company has choosen to handle the recall is not the best for building moral. Just an example of what life can be like in the regional business. Trying to spell out the fine print that being senior sometimes works as a disadvantage. Seems especially true when the tail of the airplane is Red.

Locking all the furloughs to MEM SF3 FO seems strange to me, there must be something going on we don't know about.
