    Majors?

    Well, if you look at the title of this board it is a Major Interview Board , so most of these subjects belong elsewhere. So the only threads that belong here have to do with SWA, AWA or FEDEX interviews. Since most of the drivel here has nothing to do with interviews most of it should be moved...

    Mesaba Hockey team

    He died in a single car accident last August. He was driving by himself south on Interstate 35 after returning from the US Hockey Hall of fame near Virginia, MN. He was about 60 miles north of Minneapolis when his vehicle left the road and crashed. Although I am not sure what happened I...

    Mesaba Hockey team

    Yep, Steve was hired at Mesaba in 1988. His brother was hired a month later. It was cool to see an F-27 and Theif River Falls in the same scene. Ahh brings back alot of memories. Like waking up at 4:00 am and preflighting an F-27 in minus 30 degree temperatures. The sadest part of the...

    NWA recall

    I do not know of any websites that list the total number of furloughed guys out there right now. But I do know the associated union websites for each carrier would have that info, but if you are not a member you cannot access it so it doesn't help you that much, sorry. From what I understand...

    Strike on HOLD

    Sorry De Pez for the misunderstanding. I have edited the name in my response to New2Flying.

    Strike on HOLD

    If this was the case Mesaba management would have locked the pilots out or they would have tried to operate flights today. Niether has happened.

    Strike on HOLD

    impasse New2Flying, An impasse has already happened. It was declared on December 11th and the 30 day cooling off period began. At the end of that 30 day cooling off period the pilots are free to strike or the company can lockout the pilots and enforce their own work rules and payscale...

    Why Not? Is there a rule or law that says " it is against the law to have it both ways"?

    UAL to stop furloughing

    I've got you all beat. 10-15-01 furlough date. I gave up on United shortly after that because I knew there would be thousands of pilots placed on top of me on the furlough list not hundreds like many thought. There were too many things coming together to make this the perfect storm. The...

    Monday Night NFL!

    Im sorry, but if you can not hold onto a 21 point lead with less than four minutes to go in the game then you do not deserve to win. It was a weak penalty, I agree but that game belonged to the Colts after they scored 21 points in less than four minutes against the vaunted Bucs defense.

    Minneapolis for the day...

    If you are into drinking and eating go to the First Avenue and Second Avenue part of downtown Minneapolis (near the Target Center) lots of cool non-chain type pubs, bars and restaurants. There are also chain type places, ie Hard Rock Cafe, Fridays, and if your wife is really cool there are some...

    AirTran vs. Frontier - Not Flame Bait...

    I would go with AirTran. More growth ( 110 airplanes on order with 70 already in the fleet) and quick upgrade time, but if I lived in Denver it may be a different story. Not commuting is a big plus. I give this thread about 5 posts until it degenerates into chest pounding and flames because...

    Resigning seniority

    Cl65, While I agree with alot of what you say, I would have to disagree with your anology that this downturn is somewhat similar to that of the early 90s (minus the 9/11 event). I was also around during the early 90s downturn and have 27 years left to retirement. I can honestly say the...

    Resigning seniority

    I did! Being near the bottom of the seniority list for the airline I worked for and seeing the number of furloughed from my airline increase every month by 100, I resigned my number and haven't regretted it since. I had way more to gain by resiging and going with one of the aforementined...

    UAL furlough's?

    Not yet. The March of 98 number is a little off, but wait until next spring and it will probably be correct. With the recently announced furlough of 113 more on August 30th, 2003 the most senior furloughed person will have a hire date of May 3, 1999. The company plans to furlough 80-100 a...

    Last week's AirTran interviewees...

    I had a friend who interviewed in December with AirTran. Unfortunetly he did not get the job. There were 13 people in his interview group and only three were offered jobs so if it is any consolation you are not alone. Good luck to everyone and keep pluggin away.

    Waiting In Line

    intel33, I am in about the same sittuation as you, applied in October 2001 and typed in March 2002. Do they call people for interviews based on date of application or date of type?

    ACA Class Cancelations

    Ryjacks, Thanks. I look forward to flying with ACA after being out for awhile. As far as complaining about the job, I spent almost seven years at another regional before I was hired by a major and then furloughed and am familiar with what you talk about. Almost a year on the street with no...
