On a different subject, Mesaba will start flying CRJ900 to the following new destinations: SEA, EWR, ORF, YEG, SAV and RIC starting September 2009 and returns to OMA, SYR, CMH, and MSY.
CRJ200 will start flying to CMI, RDU and returns to GRR, RAP, LAN, AZO, and MSN starting September 2009.
I do not think people should be picking up open time as long as there is one Mesaba pilot on furlough.
I hope those furloughed will be back real soon.

Don't know where the flight to SEA will originate from. If I have to guess, it would be from MSP or SLC or DAL outstations in the West. CRJ900s have the range to do it from DTW if they want to but that is not likely.

Cool, even the saab get's a tiny part of the pie. This should at least help to reduce the number of furloughs.

Had a federali on board last week and engaged in some discussion about the new crew duty and rest rules possibly going into affect...when asked how long it would take he said:
Usually it takes 2 years to get a rule brought to legislation but their goal is to have new rules in place within three months ...he said something will be on the table by early OCT
The main parts of the rule suggest:
reducing duty days to 12 hours...possibly discountinuing CDO's...and having shorter days for thos that fly a large quantity of shorter legs in a duty period...
i'm hopeful we won't have to furlough the required number...and can get everyone back here...and those guys in the pool
On another note he was actually there to check my pairing and make sure that Mesaba was giving everyone legal rest...
