FROM NOW ON...NEW HIRES WILL ALWAYS GO TO THE SAAB, if you get hired at pinnacle or mesaba or colgan...you're going to the Saab. Which means you have to have 1000/100 as minimums, they're not moving on this.

So for all those people that were hired between 250-~1000 hrs...they said they will probably be dropped from the pool, unless they approve you for colgan saab class(example: you have 900TT and 300+multi with an ATP written)

that's all...systems start monday!

and FTR there is 14 new hires and 5 mesaba Saab instructors switching over to the Colgan cert. all in the current class
Man, if I believed everything they told me in new hire class we woulda had a contract about 6 years ago!

11-09 is out, only IAD and IAH Saabs remain. This is going to be a mess to sort out.

I was counting close to that, which to my math means they would need close to 80 or so new hires to cover this?

I do feel for the 9E guys though, they added 104 jet captain positions on the notice and some will probably get downgraded, ughhh.
