[FLYINOKRA!]

How about a few do's and don'ts as a new FO. I don't wanna be "that guy."

ok

Do study with the group even if one of the guys is a complete idiot, he'll wash himself out.

Don't get the tall hat! Oh and the uni lady will try to hike your pants up to your armpits, beware of the inseam!

Lastly, DON'T think that just b/c you are in the jet that you were "selected" because you are better then the others that fly the Saab. Remember those guys b/c when you upgrade they'll be the ones you look to when your sim instructor doesn't know what the F&*K he's talking about.

I know about 20 pilots at 9e,
and they all told me I'm better off at Mesaba.

How would PCL pilots know where you are better off? I only know one guy who has worked at both XJ and 9E (in modern times) and I guarantee you he doesn't regret coming to PCL.

Flyinokra...You've probably made a good decision as MEM is the junior base at XJ and senior base at PCL. Even with everything else being equal that is a huge advantage. You obviously can tolerate living in that dump called Memphis so you should be pretty well set up once you can bid that domicile. If NW does not deploy Mesaba in the CRJ in MEM though you will be saddled with a difficult commute (MEM-MSP) until you can upgrade in the Saab.

Don't forget to wear your hat.. chest up high ,... head straight and don't say hello to other fellow pilots down the terminal. Mesaba tend to be like that.

I'd rather be the guy described above, than the...
-"Backpack wearing fool"...
-The "G-Thug Homey/stocking hat down over your eyebrows/walking with a 'pimp limp'" nit-whit. (Oh yes, it's true...winter is returning soon, keep an eye out for these guys!)...EOE
-"Sunglasses in the terminal" dink...
-Oh, and the newest one...Don't be the "Stick Shaker going off at 80 feet above the runway on landing while a Mesaba crewmember was riding jumseat, pooping his pants" guy. (Yes, that happened too.)

They are everywhere!

 

[Rook]

Yeah...I see some Pinnacle guys doing the same. So retarded. By the way, thanks for the huge generalization of our pilot group. Tool.

Don't bring yourself down to his level my man.

Hats?????

I know you aren't talking about Mesaba because nobody wears their hat. I don't even know where mine is.

You mean Pinnacle.

Stop being a jack@#s

Naw, I wouldn't generalize an entire airline because of a few people like that tool did. I was just saying that some 9E and XJ guys need to lighten up and say "Hi" every now and then. That's all. Smile folks

ps - when you say 'Hi' to me, you kinda have to yell because I fly the Saab

 

[Carl_Spackler]

Know your memory items, limitations, and PROFILES before you get into the sim. Start studying the profiles and looking through the QRH while you are doing systems class, so you aren't cramming 2 days before your first sim.

Hey Guys;

What's up with 41,000. The only airlines that don't go to a manufacturers recommended altitude are tools. When you go to the shed to get a tool and you find a dull one that is what you find when you are limited by ability rather than flying sense and skill.

Don't throw furniture into the pool.

 

[Regional4life]

I'm surprised because our training department is such a knee jerk reaction operation. QUOTE]

Simple curiousity as to your view point. Why do you say they are knee jerk reaction operation?

 

[Mysteryofflight]

Don't throw furniture into the pool.

Had to wait a sec before typing after this one.. sides hurt too much.

He's got a point, furniture in the pool is a great way to go out with a bang. Remember the hotel workers are your enemy! hide the mini's i tell you!

 

[Flat Spot]

A banana huh? I apreciate all the advice. No one said anything about the crash pad thing. I also noticed in my interview class that most everyone was from up north, and said they would just move there. I noticed on my class roster that I have 3 females in my class. We never had any trouble from females at my flight school I'm assuming it'll be the same here. ANy body stay at the Towneplace suites in Eagen during training.

Never had any trouble with em while I was at XJ....they always did just like I told em!!!!

Just kiddin. Couldn't let it go.

I talked to HR today and got into the September 26th class.

 

[skychicken]

Those of you that interviewed at Mesaba, how did you send your resumes in?? I have e-mailed a couple, but never heard anything back and I am from MN with more that the time required and a current 121 job. I would sure like to try at least an interview with them.

this place is filled with dorks, i have a couple in my crashpad that would rather flight sim it up than see some titties. man.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Out of curiosity.. how many memory items does XJ have on the CRJ?


Remember there are douchebags/unproficient morons at all airlines. Don't be one.

Too bad you've got 121 expierence. That does not look good to Mesaba for some reason. Does anyone out there know of any recent newhires that came from 121? Most, if not nearly all are 1000-1500 CFI's and freightdogs. I guess they have pretty good luck with the new guys, so why change what's workn'. Sorry
