I wonder how many Mesaba guys and gals will pass up colgan? I have a few "F" friends from there. Currently some are flying 135 or 91. All 4 have said thanks but no thanks.

 

According to the email we got, mesaba furloughs wont have to interview, just pass all the required checks i.e. background, drug, etc. I for one would maybe consider pinnacle, no way on colgan. No disrespect, but that flying/ lifestyle/pay is not for me. Im hoping that when we merge... we dont get screwed and just stapled to the bottom. For now, I'll hold out for better days. Good luck to us all.

I know several furloughed Mesaba guys and it's a mixed bag. Some are willing to go to pinnacle only, some to colgan or pinnacle and some have found other jobs and will happily wait for the whole thing to get hashed out. I guess when they start sending out emails offering guys jobs we'll know where everyone stands.

I, for one, will voice my shock at how much thought might actually be going into this. Maybe my expectations were low but I'm shocked that they (management) says they're going to integrate the companies. I'm also shocked if it's true that they are only going to hire mesaba furloughee's how much foresight that actually entails... since any off the street hires after now would basically be coming into the middle of a seniority mess they might lose (but probably wouldn't)

If it goes down like that, I'm impressed. Which is shocking in itself.

 

That is what a lot of us junior guys at 9L are wondering. I'm happy we at least can potentially help Mesaba furloughs, but I don't want it to bite us, or anybody else in the rear come SLI time and see a new group furloughed.

 

Has anyone scheduled for the July 21st interview group NOT received their travel itinerary and paper work stuff yet?

 

Has anyone from the July 6,7,8 interviews in LGA heard anything back yet?

 

They're waiting to see how many Mesaba guys will accept a call back and go to Colgan/Pinnacle. After thats done they'll call applicants as needed. At least thats what my Mesaba buddy told me...

 

I was wondering what the status of hiring is at colgan . I applied through airline apps last week and was wondering how long it would take to hear yay or nay on an interview . Thanks all !!

 

You need to call them- thats pretty much how people have been getting in. just call number on website.

 

thanks I will give that a try
