Why do you prefer Mesaba over PNCL or Colgan? They will be identical companies.

And from what I understand, Mesaba is the only entry point for hiring now.

That is exactly it, I only assumed it would all be one when the time came anyway.

Negative, Pinnacle is still hiring.

Pinnacle is still hiring, but Mesaba is the point of entry, they have to go through Mesaba to get into a 9E aircraft.

They did this because XJ was turning people down and then they would go to 9E and get hired, Corp didn't want this happening anymore.

What I was told at HQ anyway.

The guys interviewing should know.

When was the last time someone was interviewed in Memphis?
Or Houston for Colgan?

XJ had interviewees everyday last week that I saw.

i can't answer your exact question, but i know some interviewees at mesaba in MSP were offered a colgan class. maybe that helps?

That does help, and if someone was offered 9E after interviewing in MSP, mystery solved.

I just finished a Colgan class. We did indoc in Memphis, but everyone in my class interviewed in Minneapolis. A recent 9E hire would have to confirm but I believe their interviews are in Memphis.

As far as I understand it, there was one Colgan class behind mine, and then everything from here on out was supposed to be Mesaba classes. This was before though, when the Colgan planes were getting moved onto Mesaba's cert. Now that it's the other way around I'm not sure if their plans have changed.

I have a close friend with a 9E class date in July. The issue at 9E is FDX took half the department in a week... We have been cancelling a ton of flights solely on crews..
