Default Mesaba Hiring

Anyone know how much longer Mesaba plans to hire for and how many pilots they plan to hire?

Hopefully a lot so some of these guys can get off the street. I have heard hiring planned through next spring and 200-300 more pilots, plans will change daily though......

Yeah... Mesaba is getting the Avro again, we've put in a bid for 30 of them. Keep those resumes coming.

Question How to update application?

Does HR actually look at updated applications/resumes? I applied a few months ago with 800 total time. I now have 1021 total with 251 multi (almost all as instructor, so PIC). Will they even consider me when there are so many furloughed guys on the street? I heard that they recently hired some guys with less than 600 total time though, is that true? That can't make any sense in today's market. Should I submit a new app, or just update my current one?

Thanks, and good luck to other applicants.

Where on EARTH did you hear this? Do you have proof, or are you spewing exhaust?

There were, I think, 7 including myself that interviewed the other day.. and all of us were furloughed 121. Not sure, but it seems like they are focusing on taking furloughees more so than not.

Actually, we are hiring just as many non 121 people as furloughies. The rumors do persist to the steady hiring through spring next year.
