Mesaba to Phase out ALL the Saabs

[erjip]

Starting Jan 2011, Mesaba will lose 2 Saabs per month. I feel sorry for the pilots but best of luck to them.

Hopefully the attrition to Delta with help minimize any furloughs...

Your guess is good as anyone else's. Unless something good happens with Delta, they are looking at the F bomb.

I guess those down grading Captains will wish that FO pay raise had gone through. Short sightedness bites again.

I cant say that I didnt think the same thing today...

I thought that when the proposal was being discussed. Nope, short sighted Captains and short memory Captains prevailed. While this isn't old news, it's confirmed what everyone was speculating since they first announced the saab retirements. I wonder what it will be like to be a 11 year FO?

Sorry to hear guys/gals, I'll hope for the best
