WOW! At first I didn't believe it until I saw it for myself on our own website. First I have heard of it. Interesting. Glad you are browsing the Mesaba website! Thinking about joining us?

Keep in mind that this isn't really a street captain position. With a 35 day upgrade and dropping they're basically just pointing out the obvious that if you get hired with 2000TT, you'll be able to hold CA with your seniority when you're done with training. Advertising like this is just a method of attracting higher time applicants since 90% (totally fabricated statistic) of their pilot applicants right now have about 400TT. Still great news for those with upcoming class dates or the desire to join Mesaba.

So how do Captains with lower senority numbers fit into the mix when FOs with higher senority numbers are available to upgrade? Do they stay captains or do they rollback to FOs? Are the FOs with low time and a good senority number screwed by higher time pilots with a lower number.

especially the part where they are trying to sell how comfortable the rj200 is.. "reclining leather seats"... lol, made me laugh.. people always ask at the counter if the plane has a first class section for upgrade, i tell them that the entire plane is first class,, all of the seats are leather, and everyone gets an aisle or a window!!!

Agreed. Total time is such a poor way of measuring pilot experience. Is 2000 hours of 152 time in the traffic pattern at XYZ "better" than 1000 hours of single pilot night freight in a Beech 99?
