She's talking about the furlough letter itself..not the recall letter that is never going to come.

I believe the closest thing it says to "recall" is "we're working to bring you back as soon as we can, you're a valued part of the Comair team"..or something like that

 

You're right. In my letter, they only quoted the verse from the Current Working Agreement that pertains to recall.

 

Hey guys, anyone knows why the furlough chair is asking those who interview/applied to Mesaba for their info?. Have any of you gotten that email?. Oppinions?

 

I think the union wants to know about people's experiences at Mesaba so they can decide whether or not they too should apply there......

 

Do you Comair guys think you're OWED the job at Mesaba or something? If you didn't get the job after interviewing, it was something they didn't like in the interview. If you didn't get the interview, then there are more qualified applicants. It's a supply and demand issue... not everyone, regardless of time in type and 121 experience is going to get the interview, let alone the job. I'm sorry your MEC mislead you in to believing there is a preferential hiring agreement for Comair pilots. Even if there was, that still doesn't guarantee you guys jobs. There are lots of Comair folks interviewing each week, but Comair isn't the only pipeline for Mesaba right now. Mesaba isn't going to hire you JUST because you come from Comair. I know it's awful to be in your shoes right now, but stop showing up to the interview like XJ owes you something and maybe more Comair pilots would be getting the nod.

 

$hit! That won't even cover gas money to drive my furloughed butt out of Northern Kentucky to the West Coast.

 

Dude, chill a little.
Nobody is suggesting/implying Mesaba owes anything to anyone. We are (actually I am) curious as to why some things are happening right now. Personally, I'm hellbent on having the government pay for my type rating. So having a job right now would cramp that idea. So, with that said, understand we know you guys owe nothing to us guys. I have been in this industry long enough to understand that tomorrow "management" may decide your shoes would look a lot better on my feet........

 

Thanks for your oppinion. Much more useful than some others.

 

I'd sooner eat dog food than interview there. So don't thump your chest like your something your not. You are just the flavor of the month for Delta. You'll get yours like everyone else at Delta's DCI carriers. There isn't a regional carrier out there that Delta hasn't screwed or isn't going to screw. Fly high now, but your day will come. (like the rest of us)

 

Wow, why the hate towards Mesaba? You'd rather eat dog food than interview at one of, if not the only airline hiring right now? Ok melodrama. I'm not thumping my chest, just telling it like it is. There are Comair guys on this board who are amazed they didn't get hired and amazed they haven't been called for interview. My comments are based on those posts. Help has been extended on this BB on getting the job at Mesaba in numerous ways. I have nothing against Comair pilots whatsoever.... just trying to help.

Oh and by the way... Mesaba pilots know very well what being in the dumper is all about. We've had our "day." Our "day" lasted 6 years. I've been in your shoes... they're not so comfortable and I don't wish ill will on any pilot having been there done that.
