Sept. 22nd Mesaba Class
 

Hey guys and gals, figured I would start a new thread to get everyone for the 9/22 class to exchange thoughts/advise/concerns/information before training begins in less than two weeks. Congrats to everyone!:)

Why start a new thread? We have a Mesaba New Hires thread that has been going strong for a long time. All your questions can be answered there.

Aaaaaaah, new meat. :p

My advice is start growing a thick skin, you'll need it.

Good luck and study hard.

When is the interview?

To answer your question "why" the new thread, because most of the posts on the "Mesaba New hire Thread" is about new bases. The reason I thought it would be a good idea is so the SEPT 22nd class pilots can interact with each other before class.

soon to be mesaba guys: check out mesabapilots.com

For those in the Sept 22 class:

1. Congrats! Those of us still waiting are envious, but happy for you.
2. How long were your resumes posted before they called you for an interview?
3. What hours/qualifications are they really hiring with now? (website says 600 TT, 50 ME minimums.)
4. Did they tell you which base you would be assigned?

Thanks, and good luck. Hope to join you later.

as far as #4 for bases they have you bid for that in seniority order in class. The only aircraft that is a sure bet as far as base is the 200 which is based in MSP.

How does seniority get assigned in a class at Mesaba? Is it by birthday?

Yup. Older ya are, more senior ya are.
