Your gone less than a month. We started Jan 14 and were out of there Feb 7. You will have your sim/travel schedules before ground is over.

so am I back home in less than a month and waiting for sims? do they pay our way to sims, or at that point are we domiciled and expected to find our way there? I do apologize if this has been covered before, but thats a lot of posts to sift thru again looking for these answers.

You may or may not go home after ground depending on your sim schedule. We had guys leave the day after ground for sim and in my case was the last to go and had a 1.5 month wait. They will positive space you from any of the Mesaba domiciles to sim (Denver or Montreal). If you want to fly from your home airport (if its not a domicile), you will have to jumpseat or non rev.

I heard 3-4 weeks ground. Then 3-4 weeks sim. I think we get our home base in ground, and then Mesaba will then give us a positive space to sims from our assigned domicile. But as far as getting to our domicile after ground I think we are on our own. Some please correct me if I'm wrong.

No problem guys. As for getting back home after ground if you get the chance, you will have to find your own way back (jumpseat/nonrev). Sim is generally 3-4 weeks, I'm out in Denver Mar 17-Apr 9 and the training so far has been great!

Yeah I flew that one a few weeks ago and sat in the back at the gate and thought the seats were pretty nice. Then I deadheaded on it last week and I changed my mind. They are still uncomfortable.
