Mesaba big annoucement imminent

[ImbracableCrunk]

Overheard in the DTW crew room:

An FO's husband was waiting for his new-hire class date, and Mesaba cancelled the class. They told him not to make any major plans around a job at Mesaba.

Maybe not enough sim time for all the people they've already got in training, or maybe this is when JS and TW show up in trucker hats and tell us we've been Punk'd.

Any new hires had their class cancelled?

Waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump out of the bushes...

Which class was cancelled?

They haven't decided on the next date for Indoc, but NOTHING has been cancelled.

Chill, people... We are still interviewing like CRAZY. Planning just hasn't decided what the dates will be.

Low staffing levels, lets postpone classes...

They're cancelling vacation slots in May and asking us to sell off vacation.

So all this talk about postponing classes under low staffing levels? Crew "Planning"??? It's going to be a wonderful summer.....

Just at the training center yesterday, you should see all the new black suits running around. Scott and Chris were interviewing all day yesterday. Word I got was that the accelerated hirings would continue through the summer, 150 newhires total. We are pushing the limits of the sims (Indy sim visuals dying/Avro sim multiple recurring writeups), Janice was told to buy "ALL AVAILABLE SIM TIME" and we will be training on the back side of the clock soon. Nothing even resembled a delayed or cancelled class.

Yep, that is the big announcement. Vacations cancelled. I love the management at XJ. They do such a good job of running an airline.

Vacnacy 05-03 "there will be no saab upgrades!"

Vacancy 05-04 all saab capatin class

Vacation cancelled in May.

It's like Gomer and cousin Goober are running the planning deptartment.

"When I originally made this post, all info was accurate. The announcement could still come at any time but apparently NWA is dragging their heels."



Probably not related but concidering there will be up to 70 50 seaters laying around once AWAC places their aircraft with Airways (announced today).....NW may still looking to pick up a deal. 50 seaters at firesale rates or 44 seaters from a respectable well run established regional. Who the he.ll knows right? AD

I'm pretty sure what I heard, but maybe that was a new way of saying "Thanks but no thanks" by HR. Glad to hear that classes aren't cancelled.

Soapbox: XJ, 9E: Stop ripping on eachother! If ya wanna rip on someone's piloting skills, I dunno, how about Mohammed Atta. Or GoJet applicants. Take your pick.

Kip, I reckon you know a lot about cyberspace. Y-You ever come across anything like time travel?

patience grasshoppers....

It's time for this thread to die and if/when an announcement is made, then by all means, start a new thread.

 

[RampTower]

Dude, we must keep this thread alive until something BIG happens around Mesaba. This thread is probably the most exciting news we've had in a long time!

 

[propjob27]

From 1st page of this thread:

This is NOT an early April Fool's joke.

Within the next 10 days, Mesaba Airlines will announce a deal to fly 35+ 44-seat CRJ's for Northwest Airlines. Deliveries will begin in 6-8 months.

A response:

I hope you are right, but....

What are you going to say on April 11th when Mesaba Airlines has most likely accounced nothing? Not to rain on anyone's parade, but come on. I'll make a note to check this thread 10 days from now and see what exactly Mesaba has announced.

Ok, its the 11th. 9:15am. Can't wait for the "big announcement."

In the future, maybe it's better to wait until having some legit. facts instead of posting what "your buddy who's in the union said".

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

Well, it sounds like AWAC lost it's FUnited flying. Hopefully this works out for everyone (with a few exceptions *cough*Mesa*cough*).

Maybe NWAC can finally announce XJ's A380 order.

 

[IFIxUmUBrakeUm]

Yet another let down---

 

[Propsync]

The most I'd give you guys at this point would be to get AWAC's 146's in some screwie J4J deal. At the very most....

 

[Way2Broke]

Any new news here? Anyone think that Mesaba taking over a week to call back people from the interviews completed on the week of 4/4/05 and this thread are related. I still think they are up to something big. And I think they are taking their time to do it right!

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Sorry i just get tired of all the rumors without an real backing. TEN DAYS TEN DAYS... EMBRAER 170s!!!

18 newhires is a nice jump in staffing. Goes along nicely with the 20+ new hires from last month's class. And not one of them PFT'd. Welcome aboard!!!
