Mesaba Hiring Rumor Mill

[Towelie]

How is the NWA mech. strike affecting Mesaba ops? I'm thinking about jumpseating from MSL to MEM in a few days. Thanks in advance for any information.

The mechanics strike is having no real impact on Mesaba operations. What is having some affect is the new weight and balance program. With the new weights, we will most likely never be able to take a full load plus a jumpseater. I think the days of using the physical jumpseat when the cabin is full in the Saab are over.

That doesn't mean you can't jumpseat. As long as the flight isn't full, we can certainly still accomodate you. Realize though that if the flight is full the new weights won't allow for it.

Good luck if you decide to jumpseat. We would be happy to have you!

Thanks for the information. We're having some of the same headaches at ExpressJet...A new weight and balance that creates 5 cabin "zones" along with the need to count how many empty galley carts there are, etc. It's a real hassle to say the least. I'll see you guys on Sunday...Hope to see you on an XJT flight in the future..you're welcome any time.

Well being that I live in the the 'D' you could be right. And for all you other a$$ clowns, it was a Waterboy reference.

Anyone have any input on how the hurricane and extremely high fuel prices will effect the airlines and hiring. I start class in a couple of weeks and just wondering if I should be worried at all. any info will be greatly welcomed

Just got the call for the Mesaba interview. Any tips out there besides what I've read in the gouge.

and for the record I don't care what I fly, just want a schedule, and a nice work environment. I guess some sort of compensation would be a plus too.

Mesaba called me today as well. So they are firing up over there it seems. Had to decline the interview. They called me about 2 hours after I found out I have been hired at SkyWest!
