Anyone in the 10/22 class got their hotel info yet? Does it come FedEx like the FOM?
I'm driving up from MSN on Sunday. I've got a week's worth of dried and canned food...I can't believe I'm returning to the Ramen noodle diet.
How much studying over the FOM do you think is good to have done prior to starting class?

The most important part of the book is Chapter 4, Section 4.2.B. "Report and Release Times" if you know when to be at work and when you get off work, you are going to be just fine

An F/O friend of mine walked my resume in to Mesaba yesterday. How long does it usually take for them to call if they are going to? I am a low-timer, and I am very skeptical of my chances at this point, but he seems to think I will get an interview.

Does anyone know if these "street captain" positions pay captain wages out of the gate, or are we all still earning 22.75 per hour for 75 hours while in training.
BTW, this is not a negative theory, I'm very excited about the quick upgrade, positive morale and general good will going around. This is a good thing, street captain seems to have a negative connotation, it would seem that HR has found a way to get higher time applicants to Mesaba by advertising short if not almost instant upgrades when qualified.

Captain pay wouldn't start until after the completion of the PC/Type Rating. So, $22.81 during training.

NOVEMBER 5 CLASS Assignments
The November 5 class will be:
4 DTW CR9 FO
6 DTW SF3 FO
7 MEM SF3 FO
ALL of the captain vacancies were filled by current seniority list pilots. There will be no street captains in the 11-5 class according to this award.
Most junior captain remains an AUG-07 hire date.

Thanks for all the details RJ85. The 11/5 class might not be captains yet, but who knows, maybe by the end of training
Anyone on here in the September of October classes, or know people in those class, that has ATP mins already and could have upgraded if there were a spot, or was everyone in those two months fairly lower time?

I interviewed yesterday for Ca position. Was told this vacancy bid got filled (though it was close to bottom). They are getting a pool of CA qualified people and will pull from it when vacancies go unfilled.
Nice people and straight forward Interview.
I'm currently at Comair (2.5 years) and upgrade is at best probably a year or more away( talked to a guy who upgraded at year 5, it was his first opperunity) and that is for JFK. I'm from DTW so I'm hoping to get that. They said that is one of their junior bases, so there is a good chance I would get it eventually.

Most junior CA on the award that came out today was 751 our of 777. Can't imagine it'll be much longer before they start calling you for a class date. We really need guys like you in here with some previous 121 experience. Good luck!
