Mesaba pilots: To flow or not to flow?

[Flybet3]

raskal while i might not disagree with your last statements about the instructors, I WOULDNT start to insult the training department while you are friggen student yourself. watch the size of your head, i cant wait to see you on the line, and see how much you walk around as a captain thinking you own the place and only being here for like 6 weeks. what a tool

???? Dude? seriously? Wow. I personally know Raskal, and the guy is far away from having a big head. You and many others on this board need to get to know people first hand before you start calling them tools and accusing them of being arrogant.

In no particular order:

- Saab fleet manager doesn't know the company, has never flown the plane, is not typed on the plane, and isn't getting trained on the plane

- Ditching chief pilots for "base managers"

- Street captains with no 121 experience (yes, it is happening as we speak)

- 1500 hour captains

- 300 hour f/o's

- Big spike in training failure rate

- Contract instructors who are horrible

- Pan Am doing our CRJ 200 sim training

- D.O. would wants to fire people at the drop of a hat

Finally you guys are catching up with 9E.

Where do I send the flowers for the Mesaba funeral?
Sorry XJ guys. Get out when you can.

Yeah it's wild. But at the end of the day, it still beats the hell out of working. SALUD! :beer:

au contrare!

The "no" voters are the grumpy ones. [Note: Your post is Exhibit "A"] They choose to blame other pilots for their off-track expectations fulfillment, instead of management-friendly bankruptcy laws enforced by biased judges. Blaming someone who thinks instead of fumes has always been the easier course.

Show me a pi$$ed captain at NWA, and I'll show you someone who was a grumpy jerk well before Chapter 11.

OK MARK,

We all know that you've had one too many deer hunting trips with NWA management types from the schoolhouse,...You used to post it on the bulliten boards! ...with pictures....even!
You sir are a yes voter,....and the reason (63%) that the NWA pilot group wouldn't fight for a better contract....
"Show me a Koolaid Drinker a320 Captain at NWA, and I'll show you someone who was Brown Noser before CH11."

OUCH!
