So I have heard there is animosity among Mesaba pilots because some ex-Comair folks believe they were furloughed and therefore lost seniority because of Mesaba. So the Comair newhires are sour towards more senior Mesaba pilots.
I honestly am not trying to start anything. But if thats true it's rediculous. I made some friends with Comair pilots in my interview.
Just curious if something so childish is true? or b.s.

Is this what you are talking about??
As of 12/1/08, here's a sampling of the pay.
FO pay for all fleets
0-1 $24.20
1-2 $29.02
2-3 $31.86
3-4 $34.70
4-5 $35.74
the scale goes up to 8 years
Saab CA pay
0-1 $44.44
4-5 $51.64
CRJ200 CA pay
0-1 $56.97
4-5 $64.12
CRJ900 CA pay
0-1 $60.99
4-5 $68.64
This December 31, we'll also see our uniform allowances incrementally return starting with a $50 check. Each year we'll get some of it back until we're topped up at $235. Remember where our pay comes from... our 2004 contract and that bankruptcy really only touched our pay and a few other things, some of which we've already gotten back. All our work rules stayed and that's where the value of the money comes in. Soft money as you know.

Im happy to be interviewing at XJ this month and have no desire to return to comair anytime soon. The "old timers" are pretty good guys but can be real sour and most of the junior guys are just emulating what they see(also not always the best job to have but at least it was a job). It sucks and I hope that it dosent carry over.
Well I hope you have no desire to return to Comair at all, well at least at your current seniority. This is because in day one of ground school you sign and turn in a letter stating that you give up your # at your previous airline....

Wait, wait. My comment was in no way meant to be negative. I was just trying to be informative in a clever way. Perhaps my words may have not been worded as good as they could have.
I too wish you good luck because this company is great and I couldn't be happier....

Well I must say the attitude and professionalism of the pilots at this company are so refreshing. This seems like a great place to work...March 2nd class can't come soon enough! Looking forward to seeing you all in the crew room.
