Why should Comair guys have to interview at all.

What a scam.

Because we need to weed out people with attitudes like yours. Why should we hire Comair guys with no interview? As a courtesy our ALPA has worked out preferential (read not guaranteed) interviews to extend an opportunity to fellow ALPA members.

Bottom line our company has always had high-standards, a great pilot group and safety record without equal, and would like to continue to do so. With no control, and being forced to hire everyone how do yo think that would work out? Every carrier has a few "tools" working for them, and you can usually pick them out of a crowd without much difficulty.
 
There is no preferential hiring for anyone that wants to fly at XJ. Everyone has a fair and equal shot.

There is no guarantee you'll get the interview, even if you apply the proper way.

There is no guarantee you'll even get the job, lots from Comair have been turned down. The Comair applicants have had some of the worst attitudes.

And where the heck was everyone else when Mesaba was shrinking and the rest of you were growing?

Comair was in Bankruptcy and shrinking also. Plenty of ex-XJ people worked and still work here.
 
WMU - I know what's going on at Comair. But between 2001-2007 Mesaba shrank while practically every other airline out there grew and prospered, hence why you have ex-XJers on your list.

Everyone seems to be "angry" at Mesaba for "growing" and "taking our planes" while everyone furloughs, but nobody remembers the past.

Listen pappy,

If your god damn pilot group at Mesaba was looking out for your brothers at Comair, you wouldn't have your sh1t for pay company hiring 200 hour wunderkids with so many Comair pilots on the street. Your awesome pilot group would make sure everyone at Comair had been brought over first before guys with a bunch of time flying rectangles over Florida, and Arizona ever saw the cockpit of "REGIONAL JET."

Poor attitudes? Sounds like a dooshbag that has never experienced a furlough to me. Keep drinking the company kool-aid. Give me a break with the high standards, and safety record bullshat. You all belong to Delta now, which doesn't mean crap either. You're obviously proud of killing mainline jobs, and ruining this profession.

I bet you are one of those dooshbag checkairmen everyone always hears about too!
 
Wow metro... a little angry are we? Turned down from XJ wereya? You're so off base it's dizzying. You think Comair is the only airline with furloughs? Here's a list of the airlines that have furloughed or shut down that Mesaba has hired pilots from... ready?

United
Abex
Spirit
AirTran
Comair
ExpressJet
TransStates
Mesa/Freedom
Gulfstream
Skyway
BigSky
Aloha
AirWisconsin
PSA

Not to mention the folks from other airlines that aren't furloughing like Great Lakes and Eagle. There are also furloughed 135 guys and gals that are among our ranks now. Not sure where you ASSUMED we were forsaking your Comair brothers for 200 hour wunderkids attitude came from.

So give me a break... Mesaba is doing their very best to give EVERYONE a fair shot at a new job, not just a select few airlines. Uh... and you have to interview like everyone else. Where does the attitude that we OWE you the job come from?

As for our contract, if you pull your head out of the sand and figure out what happened between 2001-2007 you might have a CLUE as to how our contract came to be.

Comair should have been ahead of all those companies as well.

What flavor is your Kool-Aid?

By the way, doing their best to give everyone a shot at a new career?

A NEW CAREER? What kind of stuff are you smoking thinking anyone wants to make a career at Mesaba?

Ahahahahahahaahha! You are only getting all of those planes because your company does it CHEAPER! THAT'S IT, no other reason, everything else is bullshat. The goons that run Mesaba are the biggest whoes.

I don't know that anyone is mad at Mesaba for growing. You dudes had your pain, and are now recovering to the size you were. I sure wish AWAC would do the same, and return to our previous size, but that wont happen anytime soon.
 
I get it metro... you're pure flame bait and I bit. Shame on me for attempting an intelligent bout of communication. This is FI after all... and I should have known better. My favorite flavor of koolaid is called reality. It's a little sour, but sometimes sweet, depending on the mix.

why does it have to be flame? how about just a VERY casual observation from someone looking in from the outside!
