Default Mesaba gets 15 more CRJ's

It was announced this evening that NWA will transfer 15 CRJ-200's to Mesaba from Pinnacle. We will also keep our lone 200 and get the other one back from Compass. Schedule has yet to be finalized.

Now maybe the freakin' contract will be pushed on a little harder.

Isn't it interesting that one of the four NWA executives appointed to the new Mesaba Board of Directors is Neal Cohen - the CEO of Compass Airlines ?

What I find even more interesting is that the NWA MEC has been directed to work with ALPA leadership at Mesaba and Compass to petition for "Single Carrier Status" with the National Mediation Board.

I am not even sure what it means! Seems like the NWA pilots want something and intend to bargain as a "single entity" (Mesaba and Compass included) for it with NWA management?

You think the same crews will fly the 200 & 900?

Differences Pay??

Not going to happen. We pay the same for Fo's whether saab, 200 or 900. Its not efficient as a company to do difference training for every pilot. Will the Saabs eventually dissapear? Yep probably, but not for a while. The Saab doesnt have to do much to make money, but it will eventually outlive its usefullness. No difference pay unless you are captain.

Does this increase the likelyhood of us newhires getting placed into the jet?

Does anyone have th CRJ-900 pay scale for Mesaba? I seem to remember it being extremely low. I tried searching the forum but I can't find it. Their CRJ-200 pay is very low to begin with. I hope the CRJ-900 pay is at least decent.

This does make it interesting for a new hire expecting the Saab. Is there a realistic jet opportunity for the July class people?
