Mesaba Street Captains
Just want some info from those of you who work at mesaba about the street captains. I know they are hiring for the Saab, but what base would it be for? Any chance of getting MSP as a new hire. Are they realy short on captain? I know you would be on reserve, but would you fly at all or just get like 12 hours a month. Any info helps thanks. Also has anyone interviewed for a captains position? any gouge on the interview.

Hard to even speculate on how much you will fly.

Most every day on reserve. How much a day? Depends. But like others have said, current usage doesn't always mean future... with how much change is happening right now, it's anybody's guess.

i was thinkin about applying too because apparently upgrades at colgan are going a lot slower than anticipated due to sim time, any idea what the competetive times for being hired would be and anyone actually go through it?

Not sure what will end up being competative. From what I have heard though, we are getting many highly qualified applicants from several places. I think anyone coming here with time on the Saab, stands as good of a chance as any. Familiarity with the actual aircraft is worth a lot in a position like this.
