Default Mesaba Hangar

Not sure if this has been discussed, but saw the sign while cruising around the airport today.

CVG | Mesaba Hangar




The site is located on the south side of the airport just east of the center runway (18C/36C). The hangar measures approximately 282 feet wide by 190 feet deep (62,670 sq. ft.) The hangar door measures 43 feet high by 258 feet wide. Utilities and airfield access are readily available. The building also offers 62,860 sq. ft. of offices, shop space, storage space, classrooms and a kitchen.

In case anyone wants to open, you know, a bar or something.

No a furlough isn't a good deal over there (just like it isn't a good deal anywhere)....the SIL's are but I'm sure they are of limited number and are for the senior people.

BTW, good luck to all of the guys getting furloughed. 1300 guys here went through that from '01-'06. Its incredibly difficult going through a furlough and all of the financial uncertainty that goes along with it.

To Joe Underwood, in the fall of 2001 you posted on the National ALPA forum that you hoped the DAL guys had fun working at Home Depot while we lost our jobs. I hope you treat your brothers at CMR with more respect. Its called the high road champ.
I don't know who this Underwood guy is and I wasn't at Comair at that time. But I hope that Mr. Underwood finds his sorry @ss mixing paint at the Home Depot. No No, the home depot is too good. I hope its the Sherman Williams in downtown Covington.

As a furloughed Comair guy (that wasn't even there at the time that was said) I would like to apologize for that absolutely unprofessional comment. People like that is the reason this company is so screwed today. Just cause that type of person thought they were hot sh!t in their big bad EMB-120 Brasillia and refused to work with fellow ALPA brothers and sister to make this industry better. Instead.....having no college degree, living in Northern Kentucky, and being a lifer on a RJ and b!tching about your QOL because YOU were too lazy/comfortable to do something better is what we get to see/hear about all the time. (This isn't towards EVERYONE. Some of the greatest people I have flown with are the senior folks at Comair. I learned so much from them and had some of the best trips of my life. Its to that percentage that we all have flown with. You know what type I am talking about.)

I hope that if Comair resurfaces out of this downturn we have ourselves in, we find a new type of pilot attitude at the helms of our airline. Someone who is willing to work with fellow ALPA pilots in a non hostile and open atmosphere if the time comes again when we both need each other during bad times.

Once again, sorry for the comments made by that gentleman so long ago. Karma is a b!itch and I am glad to see that you distinguish between confrontational immature attitudes and the rest of us good folk at Comair.

Most Junior is somewhere in the summer of 05.

The rest is too many years for me to care about.

-June 20, 2005.
-I have no idea, depends on a lot of things.
-Probably sometime 6-8 years (2001-2003 DOH) to hold CVG FO line.

Underwood is one of those guys that his mouth moves faster than his brain (and his mouth never stops moving). You know, one of those know it all types. I wouldn't believe half the stuff that comes out of his mouth.

Not making excuses for him, just want to let people know what kind of guy he is.

Anyone figured anything about getting on NWA flights?

I know travelnet doesn't work, but...

Remember that 18002333232 number or something close... You could list but then you needed a paper ticket to board. Well now we don't need paper tickets so maybe you could list via that number and then just check in at a kiosk?

Back in the 1990s NWA was 1-800-225-2525. Is that the one you mean?
