Mesaba adjusting -900 and SF34 vacancies

The Rumors have been running rampant at XJ lately. I will believe it when I see it. Don't believe everything you hear around the crew rooms

That is very true, Limey. Don't believe the one about new planes until you see them roll on the property. However, after being here at XJ for 9 years I am just glad that all of what I am hearing are "happy" rumors instead of the ones that contain anything concerning furloughs, bankruptcies, or the company shutting down. We will get plenty of those the next time we are in contract negotiations. Enjoy the good times while they are here, no matter how the rumors end up...

Just my .02 worth.

I guess then you 'have not' seen much then at Mesaba!

No one is perfect. But at least the ones I know, and have worked with have been great and very professional.....Oh yeah, and kiss my left nut EMA!

Right on! That's what I meant. For instance, you just can't get to be a Heart Surgeon or a Plastic/Orthopaedic Surgeon because you're the most senior and the 'opening' is posted.

In aviation, that's the curse. If you're senior, you get a shot. My upgrading captain mucked up his whole check ride, but since he's been there for over 20 years, the examiner, who also is a company pilot, and knows him, let so many things slide. What a joke!

You have crewmembers that have taken "over 20 years" to upgrade???

The only reliable rumor is that I will be called once again, and assigned another day of ready reserve tomorrow.... What a crock!

those q400's are mx pigs. just ask the horizon guys/gals.

Any airplane is a mx hog. Especially if you side load the mess out of them.

IF only I could predict the keno numbers as well as this garbage.....

Ok Siggi Pipi, I will bite. Did you not realize when you took the left seat of the 900 that you were a very junior person going to a very senior airplane? I think that you did. And I can probably assume that you knew you would be on reserve at the bottom of the list. You still get paid way more than you would if you were a Saab Captain for your longevity doing considerably less work. How much have you actually flown on reserve, anyway? I know that ready reserve is pretty bad but it kinda goes with the territory for where you are right now. If it is REALLY that bad you could just go back to the Saab, you know. I am sure you could hold a nice schedule on that right now.

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeya.

Tell you what; flying is my 'part-time' job. My 'real' job is in Mathematics where I work as a consultant with govt. agencies and colleges (BTW, there are two of us at Mesaba with same credentials). We use the web extensively for our jobs and research and post on many 'mathematic' (Pure-Mathematics for you that is - most likely your High School math teacher WON'T be able to explain what pure mathematics is). The difference between the education, intelligence, knowledge, and professionalism of pilots like you and the ones in my profession as a mathematician is that you'd NEVER read rude comments like yours on our web boards even when we disagree with each other.

Obviously when you are unable to engage in an intelligent debate, you’d resort to what bullies do in middle school: make rude and insulting comments and try to over power physically. You sure are a text book example of someone with physical and personal insecurity.

Don't bother trying to use reason and logic during a flightinfo debate. Just not worth it. Believe me, I've tried before.

This sounds like a rude post-calling someone names is exactly what you are saying is wrong but yet you do call this person physically and mentally insecure? This confuses me-maybe with your superior intellect, and your other friend with superior intellect at mesaba can school me in the MSP crew room one day-I will be there alot on ready reserve! Look for my dumb army stickers on my flight case-by the way, I am smiling when I am typing this-its entertaining I like it when someone gets pulled down a notch or two-those who think they are so smart and call being a pilot a part time gig and stand high and mighty above us lowly dumba$$es and the other kind, the ones who cannot find a hat large enough for their head because its swelled so much because they think they are gods gift to humanity because they are a airline pilot

keep it real people. fly safe and get a long

OH, by the way the world is full of bullys, live with it. The world is also full of intellectuals, live with that too-who wins the fight? I suppose who wins depends on the arena. You figure that one out-the crew room? the court room, the secret government mathmatics lab (does that exsist???), the parking lot or the battlefield. Just my two cents.

Yawn....

Has anyone found some good BBQ on a trip lately? I haven't seen any posts on this actual worthwhile topic in the last year or so.

Quit hitting your self, quit hitting your self. Poop head.

EmeliaE: If my mathematics are correct, you clearly picked the wrong profession.
