I know Mesaba's mins are 600 and 50. The thing that I'm not sure about is to 100 hours instrument (75 in last 90 days). Does anyone know if that is a deal breaker or will they accept with less than that? I have over 100 but not in the last 90 days. Seems like the only way to get that is to be flying with someone already, not flight instructing. Let me know! Thanks!

From: Left seat, wait right seat, no no left seat, nope right seat! Ummmm, I guess I am confused
Times are less important then being a decent person who we can get along with on a four day trip. Yes, if you can't fly the airplane you will fail training. However, that is a small minority of people and the training department is great. Just be honest and humble, be yourself (as many others have said) don't try to impress the interviewers, relax and you will be what they are looking for. If you are a know-it-all d-bag then you will not get the call.

Also, in the above case, if you fall through the cracks and make it to the ground school, sim, and IOE; you may be asked to leave while you're on the line. Like two in my class. Yep, various captains complained about the new hires' attitudes and they were both asked to leave within a month after completing IOE.
Also, when in the ground school, be very respectful to the Instructor: they know much more than most of us will ever know. This summer, one new hire, very young guy, was rude to the instructor; he was asked to pack up that very afternoon.
Good luck in training.

I waited appox. 3 weeks. Had a senior captain walk my stuff in to the Chief, but he said that's really not worth a lot. Seems like no news is good news for most. I got in before the big boom for the most part. Applied 9/7, interviewed 10/9, class date 11/3 CRJ900. Best of luck!
