Question for Mesaba guys

[QXbuzzard]

I figure it doesn't hurt to apply, interview if called and then make the final decision. I am nervous about if I got hired to go in to a company completely blind and make it through the training. I have confidence in myself. I have a good background, but someone who has been with the company and gone through indoc, "etc" has an advantage. He or she knows the way the company runs. Me on the other hand, have no clue. It may be worth a shot though.

I do have one other question. Knowing now that reserve would be a long time, do the reserve captains fly a lot? I, of course would want to fly as much as I could.

If you want to fly more on reserve, you can always call up scheduling and get more flights out of them. It can't hurt to try.

Latest street captain group started today, 4 went to DTW and the rest to MEM, so they are being spread out a bit. Doesn't sound like MSP will be available for some time though.

If you are interested, you should apply. After all, it never hurts to come in and talk, make a decision after that. One thing to keep in mind, always talk to people when there's an opportunity. You never know.

Numbers-wise, the company is looking to hire a large number of street captains over the coming months, so the opportunity still exists.

We have a lot of SOB's though........just kidding, want to talk about reserve? I have been here over 4 years and I am on reserve right now.....imagine how long you will be on reserve. But then again, I am in msp. I would be holding over 15 days off a month at any other base. its a good place to work, you should give it a shot. We have movement, more airplanes will be coming and most important, lots of people cannot wait to leave from the NWA flow (or elsewhere).
