Default Mesaba vs. Pinnacle

Hi Guys. I know both Mesaba and Pinnacle are hiring now. Any thoughts on which is the better route to go? Anyone know what the junior bases are and which bases they are hiring into?

We are one in the same now. We have the same contract and SLI is approaching.

Compare the contracts and benefits of each one and pick the one with the quickest upgrade.

Today's upgrade time sometimes has little to do with future upgrade prospects. In this specific case by the time you're number comes up for upgrade, three airlines should be one so it really won't matter. That being said, I imagine from the point of the negotiated SLI forward all newhires will be integrated with date of hire. Just my thoughts.

The new list will be DOH for all newhires since July 1, 2010. So we have already been doing the DOH thing for the last 10 months.

Very nicely played sir. Some quick research on 401K, health insurance and QOL differences and the answer will become clear.

I'm confused by this, it's the same contract between those two airlines.... if it was two other airlines the different contracts might matter but between Mesaba and Pinnacle, whichever one gives you a class date first.

You're a little behind the airplane today, that's ok, I'll take the controls and the radio, and you can get some shuteye, we will regroup on the next leg.
