Dude, why would you want to fly over it? That takes all the fun out of flying.

Getting above above the weather is always a good idea. Flew turbo props for too long. I like the abiility to get into the 30's.

You might be right. I'm a mid 06 hire at Pinnacle. So, DOH or relative wouldn't matter a whole lot to me, since there's a big gap from 05 - 07 where Mesaba didn't hire.
