Mesaba Avro Drivers....?

[pianoman]

Jumpseated on Mesaba the other day and was treated very well....thanks. just have a couple of questions if you don't mind....

1. Do you know how many lbs. of thrust each engine puts out and do they have reversers?

2. What's the deal with that tail section opening up?

3. What's your pay rate for, say, 5th yr. FO and CA?

Thanks again for the ride- you guys are welcome on ExpressJet anytime.

1. 7000 lbs, no reversers, Just some Mack daddy brakes.

2. Airbrake

3. Not sure about pay anymore.

Just out of curiousity.....
Was the FO that crazy little Icelandic guy who's wife just gave birth to an AMERICAN? (The humor in this is an inside thing that only about 15-20 of the readers are going to see).

HA! No Kidding. Whats that crazy B up to these days? I heard the program really sucked when you guys left...lucky for me, I was there to witness all the laughter and joy that you two bestowed on all of us....heh. Wonder if he still spreads the Gulf War Syndrome rumor?

Crazy B is on family leave for around a month now to get used to the new American baby. He is flying mostly highspeeds so he can commute to PHX easily.

I love it... The Icelandic (almost albino) B living in PHX. Cracks me up...
