Mesaba

[norskman2]

With 36 CRJs coming to Mesaba that will come close to making everyone who's working here now a captain in two years when the last plane comes.) We are not scheduled to recieve more then this so the very bottom guys and anyone who is being hired now may not upgrade for a very long time. Some people may move on to something bigger and better and help movement a little bit, but most of those with the pic time who wanted to have left. Those with out it will take a year to 18 months to get it. Upgrade will come down from 8 years, but unless we get more then the 36 CRJ's I don't think that it will fall to 2 years.

Dumb question: after the Avros went away, are a lot of the current F/Os former Captains who were downgraded when the fleet shrank?

Just off the top of my head, I'd say about half of our current FO's were recently downgraded. Many of them have been upgraded/downgraded many times here at XJ, hence my advice on not b*tching about anything when you're a newhire.
