According to ATW magizine, the 15 CRJs were pulled by NWA because a contract had not been reached yet...HOwever, as stated above with the new Delta flying there will be no major difference with the loss of the CRJs and the addition of the 900's. There is a pretty good article on the company in the August 2007 edition of ATW (there is a picture of a 787 on the cover.) It seems with the purchase of Colgan, they are more stable, and money made there will be invested on the company as a whole... NOW only if they had a contract!

Hating life is nothing new. I think all regionals are the same in crappy work rules. I am just sick of commuting and it seems like a good deal. What about the 15 CRJ's going to Mesaba?

Mesaba is great:confused:...isn't there a 3 year seat lock...no chance for upgrading for the kid there
Our upgrade minimums currently require 1000 hours of Mesaba flight time or 2 years with the company whichever comes first. There is no total time requirement other than FAR ATP mins. |

How many years did it take you to get 18 days off?

At mesaba they hire into all 3 planes, so this person probably got lucky and got 900 fo out of training as one of the first ones so he will get the best schedules right out of the bat, better than fo's who have been there for years. I dont particularly like that system, but I dont work there so I dont care. It will be a rude awakening when that person upgrades though.........

As a captain you will get abused. You will be on reserve for at least 2 years. They will knock you down to 8 days off. Basically you will turn angry and start hating life.

latest news is the planes are not going to be moved to mesaba, because mesaba said they didn't want them. like i have said before those planes will stay at pinnacle (we don't want them either). but its better for us to have them and not fly them and pay penalties, than it is for them to go back to mainline (mesaba) and not staff them there. |

true, but you will get captain pay and you will get pic so you can move on. no one comes to pinnacle to be a street captain for good qol. that is just stupid.

Hotels from an old army barrack to the Hilton (no Paris). Important thing to realize is most Pilots like flying at Mesaba. Lighten up Francis!! |
