Like someone posted earlier, according to the press release more deliveries of the 900s won't be til Jan 09. So he speculated Oct for ground schools. Unfortunately that makes sense, even though most of us in the hiring pool are prob slated for the 200. I suppose for there to be a need for more 200 pilots, more 900 openings must take place?? But no harm in thinking positive!

poor performance... sorry i didn't know that being number 2 in the country for best on time performance was that bad a deal. maybe you could help me understand that? and yes people took some of our flying because we didn't sign a poor contract,, infact mesaba has some of our 200's right now because of that.

new hires are getting atlanta too. infact the last vacancy we had had several new hires going to atlanta. so your chances of getting atlanta right out of training are pretty good.

According to what I've heard, there's a bunch of CA's getting calls from Southwest and NetJets, so there's a good chance that ground school will start much sooner than October.... Of course, this is also a rumor too, so take it with a grain of salt....

I wouldnt give a crap. That's the nature of this industry. Management bids on flying, pilots don't. Show me a regional that hasn't bid for flying that may have "taken away" or "prevented growth" at another regional.
If youre that sensitive about it you should have done some research before you joined this industry....

Hey Paok and Blue moon....
You're welcome that I as a 9e pilot was more than happy to give you guys rides on my jumpseat during your negotiations and during your strike without trash talking some part of your company/contract. You're welcome I donated to your fund so your families could afford food on the table during your strike. And "uhhh" we were wholly owned by NWA at the time, but I realize it's MY FAULT they sold us and we went public.

Oh I forgot, you 2 probably hadn't even started private pilot training at the time so you wouldn't know anything about that would you?

"Congrats" (2 comair guys) for being 2 bad apples in the whole bunch of good Comair guys that obviously have no clue what the role of an airline pilot is in this whole management chess game...

Oh yeah why dont you find out how many Comair guys came over to 9e during your strike to fly here........

Hey man.. im not a PCL hater. I have a lot of close friends there and use you guys quite often. You guys are always more than willing to accommodate me and vice versa. That post wasn't intended to dis on you or any individual - its just the game. The low ball contract always wins... and it gets old. Best of luck in your future negotiations!

True true...I got the same e-mail. No news regarding any hiring:

" Unfortunately, at this time we still do not have any updates as to when we will resume interviews. We will keep you updated with any other changes. "
