You should be too, and if you are lucky enough the fly "the nine" you can even wear your eppaulets (those srtipse things on your shoulders) upside down to show off to all those other guys who don't fly the heavy metal.

he knows what they are...K-State is one of the few schools that makes their flight students wear pilot uniforms...

But you said you went to Auburn???? Now you confessed you went to Kansas State. According to a Previous post in another thread you said you worked in Northwest Airlines Traning Department and FOQA but quit to go to Mesaba and fly an airplane not a cubicle. But my friend at Northwest says you were an Intern.

How can I believe what you say is true about Mesaba when you cant even make yourself a reputible guy. I mean I want to be an Airline Pilot like you my mentor Djrogs03. But its hard for me to believe you when you make up such lies....

Kendal read what i said up top...first off i was joking...and isn't being an intern at NWA working for NWA, you worked there too and are now a pilot for XJ as well...i think i earned that at least it wasn't paid...training department yes on the 744 and did a dab in FOQA...and yes I was hired at NWA to become an ATI after K-State, but decided to take them up on the garunteed interview at Mesaba...which worked out, and I'm very thankful for it

I thought so, I have some more questions for you but i cant PM. Thats awesome how you got hired right away and never had to flight instruct. If I have to build more than 500 hours to get to a regional I will be upset.

500 hours?? are you kidding. What makes you better than the like 6000 + pilots on the streets right now with thousands of hours? I think those times are over of getting hired right into a regional. Those who did get in at that time should be more than thankful. Gotta pay your dues and 500 hours is NOT paying your dues.

Hey guys, we had this Kansas State alumni come talk to us about Mesaba Airlines. He told us all about Mesaba and the CRJ900 and it was so cool. He was really cool and looked awesome next to that CRJ900 He told us all about how to get hired by Mesaba right after graduation just like him and someday be a first officer on the CRJ900. He had lot of pictures of all the books that he had to carry around and told us all about how we went from stuck on the ground to flight level 370. Has Mesaba pilots come to any other colleges? Do other airlines do the same thing?

SJS got this one by the b@lls :eek:

Poor kid, gotta get hit by a freight train called "reality" and he doesn't even know it. :cool:

sniff sniff, mmm I think I smell something. I don't know, I think it smells like...

FLAMEBAIT!!!!
