Hey Shaner77 why don't you and SkyHigh hook up and be misrable somewhere else. I'm not new at MESABA no one is...yet. First newhire class since 2005 is 4/23/07. We've got many new guys/girls comin' this way now and we're gonna welcome them with open arms. With a good attitude. You could call me a first year, newhire 3 stripper flight attendent with SJS and I could care less. I don't need to BOOST my ego. I'm having fun doing what I want to do with my life and many others are being hired to do the same. When the airlines finely purge people like yourself, we will be a little better off.

Okee doke, slick. Keep on enjoyin' what you're doin'. Nothing wrong with that. My guess though, is this: you're one of those regional guys that walks around the terminal with your nose in the air, pretending to actually have that "cool" pilot job, hoping the public will assume you're smarter and far more well-off than you are (or probably will ever be). In reality, and as you well know, most of the other workers at the airport make more than you do!! Ha! It sucks, you know it, and more of the public realize you're 'that guy' than you wanna believe. Enjoy your BIG 900's (whoa!), and the paychecks that personally insult us ALL twice per month.

Sounds like a Corsair Pilot Wannabe to me.

Most regional pilots will be Dreamliner Capts before someone with his issues gets to borrow a Corsair.

Ouch...ewww I hit a nerve. I'm glad I insult you twice a month without even thinking about it. I'm glad you're riled...'cause I'm not. I'm the guy who knows everyone in 'the terminal' 'cause I actually speak to them. At DTW many from the TSA to catering to NWA gate agents know me and smile when they see me. Soooo you're wrong.

We are a team and this 'game' has more players then just you or me. I'm happy because I check my attitude and make myself happy by controlling where my thoughts go. I do hope things get better in this industry like many others but I'm NOT going to b**ch about it and try to make others feel crappie about their career choice. I made the investment in this career and I'm here, so I'll stay here until I can't stand it (like you) anymore then I'll quietly leave. That is professionalism!

Shaner77 is banned, the post wasn't even close to debate. Rabid personal attacks like his don't add anything to the dialog of this forum and are not tolerated by the owners.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please check the attitudes at the door.

HSLD,

Any chance for an info slot for Compass in the regional section so we can start to collect payscales, min days off, benifits and such in one easy location?

I just was called for a interview on pretty short notice. Not sure about the nwa aspect of it though.. I have a good paying flying gig now but the commute to DCA is killing me. I would be able to live at home with compass but would have to consider the 10000 or more paycut. Xtreme whens your interview date?

for those of you getting called for a Compass interview, what kind of hours do you have and do you know someone there? I have over 5000 total 3000jet and 1000 turboprop but haven't heard a word from them

I am also hoping for an interview. Nothing yet. 4000tt, but very little PIC. That may be the red flag on my resume.
