Could any Saab Mesaba guys confirm for me if it's true that the LIghtspeed Zulu headset is not allowed by the company? I'm really hoping this isn't true as it means I have to start planning on acquiring a headset... Thanks

Build up a little more time and then send your stuff in, of course some will tell you that it never hurts to apply anyhow and just continue to update. If you can get an internal rec that would also help. Good luck.

What do you think? Do you think that is enough time? Most of it as a trainee and not as a trainer. Do you think that is enough time/experience to fly a Saab or a CRJ?

It never hurts to apply and I would certainly go for the MEI. In late '07 i know people with 300 TT were conditionally hired but had to build to 400. I wouldn't count on that right now due to insurance requirements and supply/demand... also they probably spelled "Mesaba" correctly.

Now thats funny.... It makes me sick to see 300hr pilots wanting to bypass paying their dues and go straight to the airlines. Buck up, the mins are the mins. If the mins were 200/10 then by all means apply, if not don't apply until you meet the mins. Its very simple.

Thats funny.... because I can guarantee if you had been offered a interview at 300 hours. You would not have told the recruiter Uhhhhhh you know what guy I think I am going to pass on this great opportunity, because I don't believe I have "paid my dues yet"......

It isn't about paying one's dues (honestly I do not care to have someone go through crap to move up). It is about learning how to fly and being PIC. The great thing about hauling checks in a Warrior is one SIGNS for the aircraft and one has some time making tough decisions (do I take off into a storm, how do I navigate around a cell, and when do I say NO, I will NOT fly).
Those are the decisions a CAPTAIN makes. After one has learned about the nuances of the transport aircraft he is to fly (as a SIC), and he has the experience to decide when a flight should NOT go, THEN he is ready to be a PIC of an aircraft hauling pax.
I do not fault folks for trying to get ahead, but I DO fault the system that allows someone who has not made the hard decisions from being PIC.
