Default Mesaba

Just curious about a few things. Is it possible to get MSP right out of training? I see the pay is better then most places for first year, but how much are guys bringing home on year 2 and 3? Is it livable? How many hours a month are being flown? Just trying to see if ill be ok making a jump from another place.

Also, where can i apply? Im on airlineapps.com but the guys arent on there. Im attending a seminar on August 25th. Does Mesaba pick up many pilots from seminars? Thanks

dont forget to subtract 5% from all the pay rates you see on airline pilot central, we wouldnt want any false advertising here would we? IMHO, those paycuts were never even close to being necessary for you guys to get those 900s

First year FO on all a/c is $22.81. This will return to $24.00 when all the aircraft are delivered.

Is there any overtime pay like high time or something? Such as if guarantee is 80 hours, if you fly 90 hours do you get time and a half for the 10 hours?
Hey Bobs, this is Q from the other site. I'm thinking of leaning towards mesaba as well, I took a tour of their facility today and it was pretty nice!

The pay cut never had anything to do with getting the 900's.

Hourly rate for overtime/overblock.

1.5 times hourly rate for open time/junior assigned trips.
