Southern Air
I am guessing that Jan 30 Class never materialized? Haven't heard a word since then. -

Southern Jan 30 Class
Well, was emailed yesterday about the class cancelling due to fleet plan changes. No future date anticipated. Thanks for the info, fellas. -

Southern Jan 30 Class
Angel confimed the date on the 17th. Thanks for the information and am looking forward to the new challenge. -

Southern Jan 30 Class
Hello. I have been given a start date of Jan 30 and was wondering about when to expect the standard info of travel, hotel, locale of event to be sent out. Thanks to those that have some information. -

B747 down in South America?
Good assumption on the not getting hired, but incorrect. Have not applied. Sorry. I am just tired of the elite pilots dogging the non elites. My point was that bad things can happen to any crew. All the carriers have proven that. -

B747 down in South America?
What is the ratio of Kallita's planes having some mechanical trouble has the root cause vs. Fedex? Oh wait, FedEx guys crash 'em with nothing wrong. "let's land in TLH today about a mile from the runway in the mud, what do you say boys?" "look, its kinda windy and no other DC-10's have... -

XJ CRJ200 not all going to MSP
That sounds about right. Mesaba has never been able to staff an airline. There are only two options at XJ; furlough or cancel vacations. Been that way for years and now that the pilots voluntarily gave up a week of vacation, the company can understaff even more when they cancel the pilots'... -

XJ to get 17 CRJ200's from 9E
Senior was a bad choice. Majority would have been better. When the "majority" in NWAPLA decides to the DC-9 pilots will fly for less money, then the new hires will fly for $123/hour. I notice that you didn't have a wise crack about the amount of tenure it takes to make such good money. THAT... -

XJ to get 17 CRJ200's from 9E
Don't get me wrong, the DC-9 pilots make way more money that the CRJ and Saab pilots. Of course there will be interviewers. And they won't be working for anything less if hired at NWA.....until your senior pilots decide they will for them. BTW, you forget to mention that one has to work for a... -

Who's a bigger bottom feeder, ASA or Mesa?
The Correct Answer Is...... Who has the highest number of PFT'ers on the list..... Pre 9/11, good contract???? They worked for free for the first year. -

XJ to get 17 CRJ200's from 9E
Occam's Razor, I have seen your "legacy" payrates. You fly the same schedules Mesaba pilots do. It's not too much of a stretch to say that the DC-9 pilots are now the highest paid commuter pilots. Except they fly an airplane that isn't made in Canada or Brazil. Let's all be clear. The regional... -

Mesaba Hiring Mins
Not complaining. Just dismayed more than anything. Mesaba has always had minimums that were on the lower side of average. When I was hired at XJ, Air Wisconsin wanted something in the neighborhood of 2000-2500, Eagle was 1500/300. COEX, Express I, ACA, ASA, Comair were all pay for training... -

Mesaba Hiring Mins
The new minimums alone are an insult to the professionals already at XJ. The previous 1000/100 was by no means anywhere close to hero pilot status, but it at least weeded out the pilots who racked up 600 hours by being a remedial student pilot from the ones who had at least some experience as a... -

New Mins for Mesaba
Funny, that's what my wife calls me. When ALPA decides that concessions are required for already underpaid professional 121 pilots, you have to start lowering the mins to get people to work there. The ambitious and well qualified pilots are not going to apply to an airline where you get to... -

New Mins for Mesaba
If you have a crap airline, you're gonna only be able to attract pilots with zero experience and those who have no idea what their time, effort, and sacrifice to themselves and their families is worth. Hopefull every capatin will fill out a paysheet for OE pay. Good job ALPA. Safety and... -

Mesaba Job posting
A couple of the "spectrum" kids were really good pilots and people. NWA would have been better off with them instead of pawning em down to XJ. There were also a couple who were some real zeros. -

Airline pilot pay
Mesaba Airline pilots are voting on whether or not they are being paid too much. -

XJ TA may be voted down
Fuuny how the money was supposed to run out long ago, but yet.......we keep operating. How is that? I say do nothing until they impose terms. Why give up anything until you have to? Those that have the mentality "we lost" "runaway today" and so on, thank goodness you aren't into... -

Judge blocks strike at Mesaba
No bad feeling taken. Of course Netjets is getting picky. So is FedEx and SWA. After those three, there is a pretty steep drop in quality of emplyment possibilities. Good for you on your decision to walk out if terms are imposed. I would do the same, but my family couldn't afford for me... -
