Mesaba CRJ-900 F.O.'s

[SEVEN]

These jack*ss FO's need to get a clue. With over 1100 pilots now if they want to further their career they will have to upgrade on the Saab. Hope their skills are up to par for an NDB approach in CIU in white out conditions with a crosswind and poor braking. Good luck Mavericks. Their ego's are writing checks their body can't cash.

:uzi: SHINY JET SYNDROME:smash:

I once heard a CRgay 900 FO say he flew the "9" He didn't realize he was talking to a USA Jet DC-9 guy who proceeded to kick his ass

nothing wrong with that. I have heard many a saab pilot calling their rig the "340" and leaving it up to the lil lady to decide what it was that he was flying. You gotta do what you can when you're pulln down 20k a year livin in your parents basement.

DL, I made a nice thread for you guys in the cargo section, but you forgot to mention I never flew 1900s for MAG...

BUT I DID start flying the Falcon at 234 TT. Took an act of God I think to get the check airmen to sign me off. I'm not denying it.



At the company in question, maybe the first or second year, then you're better off..........dare I say it.......at MESABA.

The only thing they got going for them is their company isn't dumb enough to fly for less than a profit, MESABA and every other crappy regional seems to be.

This comes from the guy that said and I quote, "It would be cool if USA Jet got 747's!!"

then someone else replied, "It would also be cool if USA Jet got you a girlfriend!"

Don't you guys get it, you are the next pinnacle. A lot of growth, turds for FO's and then you will be spun off your name changed and then sold. I just want to say though to the guys that were around before all this started happening, you guys are a great pilot group. It sucks when you see a pilot wearing a backpack, Ipod and sunglasses in the MSP terminal and realize that you can't just blame it on pinnacle anymore, its mesaba now too.

Their -900 is nicer than your 9-10/15/30.

What looks better on a resume? Mesaba -900 time or DC-9?

There are literally thousands of CRJ captains in the industry. How are you going to stand out in a stack of resumes like "DC-9" will?

I would guess there are less than 20 people in their 20's flying a DC-9 in America and USA Jet has given the opportunity to a lot of young guys.

Depends on the airline. Jet Blue wants glass time

Relax "Brain," I'm not downing your job, I'm envious, I probably won't ever get to fly a -9, especially to some of the places you 've been in it. We're all proud of what we do, you're just as lucky as I've been for the most part! You even got to go Harvard at 35,000 feet!

How about:

"The cocky, the clueless, the Mesaba CRJ900 F.O."

 

[DX Rick]

How about:

"The cocky, the clueless, the Mesaba 9 F.O."

Fixed it for you.

 

[fowingman]

maybe you all can help me fiqure out why the heck are they so cocky, i just ran into other today, every single friggen right seat rj f.o has a huge chip , whats with it, man if i fly with them get ready to work the gear!

 

[McNugget]

It really is the most ungainly-looking jet in the skies, today. Looks like it'll break in half, and the engines are way to small. The Flying Giraffe.

Yeah I remember riding over to PanAm in Eagan on the hotel bus with these guys.

They were just burning to work the word "900" into conversation however possible. Just some more midwestern tools who think they're hot stuff.

Reminds me of the guys who say "I fly the E170. It's the one that looks JUST like a 737, but a little bit smaller"

Ha! Just a little smaller, like 80,000lbs smaller.

 

[DX Rick]

Ha! Just a little smaller, like 80,000lbs smaller.

My flight attendant would look JUST like Jennifer Aniston, if she were a little bit smaller.

two things, I have seen a couple of the a holes in the crew room.....they are the ones who you see who try to look better than everyone else....but they give the majority of the rest, the good ones a bad name. The only good this post will have is maybe opening up a few of the idiots eyes, but generally it will make the other good ones think everyone hates them.....well, try including the newbies into your conversation in the crewroom...build unity, we will need it

 

[whaleroast]

For the Saab guys and gals, it won't be hard to look different in the crew room come July....the sweat, the stink, the shear joy of another Saab summer radiating from my skin.
So I guess the answer is get used to this aloofness.

I seem to remember a similar sentiment about the Avro FOs about 6-7 years ago on this same web board. For that matter I personally remember the attitudes of some of our CRJ-200 FOs when they first went into service along side of the Saab at 9E. I think in any operation with multiple types you will get a superiority complex among those in the equipment generally accepted as being superior. Just look at at mainline carriers where the the wide body guys consistently dump on and sell out the narrow body guys.
