What does Mesaba want?

[Masterplan]

I applied there a couple of weeks ago and got the thanks but you don't meet our requirements email today. I have almost 6000 total 1500 ME two types ATP clean record. What exactly do they want?

To be honest I dont know either. I have an interview with them as soon as I fully recover from my surgery and I've heard that the actual hiring chances are the same as the interview.

Basically no one knows man... Who else is hiring now?

You might too qualified and they possibly feel that the company will not be able to keep you with opportunities arising in the future with bigger operators looking for crews...just a guess.

BS why would the hire furloughed captains that have way more time than that. It is what it is....

I heard they're looking for pilots that have more posts on FI than they have in TOTAL TIME.

I was invited for an interview with Compass last January, but turned them down. Now when I re-applied, they send me the rejection letter. What a crock of $hit. Same thing happened when RAH invited me, turned them down, and 6 months later they were too good for me. Said they were going to "pursue other canidates" ... I have 3500 TT 3000 turbine 121.

Dude! Good burn!

I don't know what they want, but it does suck. I interviewed with Compass last year and didn't get it and went to another regional. I am now flying part time and working full time outside the industry and really want back in. I reapplied to Compass and have a friend there who is a captain put in an LOR. Got the no thanks letter last week (w/o even getting an interview). Go figure. I have also applied at Mesaba and haven't heard anything yet, but it's only been a few days. Keeping my fingers crossed some one calls. I too have higher time...about 4900 total, 4400 turbine, 3 types (one is an sic only) and a mix of 135 and 121. Hopefully something breaks soon.

Do you think it has anything to do with you turning them down? Are you really that stupid to think you would be invited back after you told them no?

Dude that's why I'm going to be captain before you!

Exactly what I was about to say.

Can I ask why you turned either of them down?

Master,

Don't sweat it man. Airlines are like perverts, they all have their weird little fetishes. Some have a thing for feet, others like it if you fart in their face. You just never can tell.

You probably didn't have enough time in a purple beech duchess, or you looked like the HR lady's ex-husband. You're obviously more than qualified to be a flaps officer on a CRJ900. Move along and don't dwell on it.

On a side note, I know Compass has turned away a ton of very qualified people, some I've known personally. Why? Nobody knows for certain.

Where? Are you at NWA too? I guess it will take me a while to upgrade at the "new" DAL, thankfully I already have a ton of turbine PIC (121 and other).

Ya I'm captain of the computer I stare at, very far from being in your shoes. LOL
