Ah, 590MA...The first saab I ever flew. I showed up for oe and told the instructor that they didn't tell us nothing in ground school for a straight B. What engines? What weight limits? Little did I know that this is how the rest of my Mesaba career was going to be. Hell, I doubt if the training department even knew we had a B model.

Big Sky Guys

Would Mesaba hire Big Sky pilots?

I don't think you would want to do that, At some point BigSky will have to be merged into the Mesaba list. There is no way that MAIR holding can seriously exspect Bigsky to turn a profit flying 10 metro liners in Montana.

Something is going to happen we just don't know what or when. I have seen that recectly Bigsky has renewed their EAS contract for a couple more years and are Hiring according to the website.

By coming over to Mesaba you would just be giving up what ever senority you have built at BigSky. If MAIR holdings was planing to shut you down they would have done by now. Something is in the works. The only way for Mesaba to grow outside of northwest system is through the BigSky certificate. With the scope in our new contract you guys can't fly anything bigger than 19 seats with out first merging you onto the Mesaba senority list.

or MAIR could sell Big Sky to some one else (ie Pinnacle) and they could fly CRJ's for NWA. Just one of the many possibilities.
