Mesaba CRJ200 Training/Flying

[977flyer]

Any idea what's up with this? Are there new classes starting? Are the pilots waiting for ground, sim, reserve? Any information would be appreciated.

Just trying to get a sense for what's up with the CRJ200 program at Mesaba.

Great company, BTW

Crj200 operations are on the cusp of lots of activity. Airplanes start arriving in November for MSP only? Some may be based elsewhere, but MSP for now. -200 sim being installed at Mesaba training center right now. Rumors of -900 sim exist as well. New hires are being assigned to all airplanes although predominately the Saab right now. That may change shortly. Extremely low-timers will most likely get the Saab right out of the gate, but there's no tellin'.

Thanks for the update. Any idea how many CRJ200 FO's they plan to hire?

 

[flyf15]

So those airplanes are actually going over there this time instead of like the last times?

First it was Sept, then Oct. now Nov. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I don't know of any great companies that rape their employees just like Mesaba did to theirs.

Wait, so are 15 of Pinnacle's -200s still going to Mesaba?

If so, starting when, and how many per month?

Word is 2 per month, starting this November. We bought a 200 sim, so I think it's really happening.
