Open Invitation for ex-Mesaba Pilots in Trouble

[AvroJockey]

With all the bad news that's going on I thought I would do what I could to help out those I could.

If you flew at Mesaba, have experience in the Avro, and you're about to lose your job (or have), EMAILme and I can see what I can do to help you out.

Cityjet is always looking for Captains and First Officers, and the conditions are very good.

Best of luck to all.

With everyone "loosing" their jobs nowadays it's a wonder that nobody has figured out how to tighten them!

Thanks...next time I'll PM my posts to you for proofreading. It will save you some time over having to waste your life thumbing through FI to correct me.

I hope your in box is empty! Cheers!

Don't mind Mr. Crib....he's just got nothing to do on Reserve.

Miss those Avro's......(former Intern)

I assume you have to get a JAA license to fly for you guys...and if so, what is the cost?

Eventually you do, but the IAA will let you fly with your FAA certs for a year or so. The conversion is just taking the 14 theory exams and a PC. In my contract, the cost of the conversion is paid for by the company.

I'm still doing the conversion and I've been here for more than a year.

Also, Cityjet will sponsor you for an Irish Work Permit, because they're in desperate need for pilots. You don't need a EU passport.

Avrojockey,

I'm not an ex-mesaba or in need of a job, but I just wanted to say thanks for trying to help out those guys who may need some help in these tough times.

Too bad they dont need dispatchers...

I have sperience on the BAe146...

Unfortunately, the job doesn't exist in Europe. You really don't realize how much you need something, until it's gone. You can't ever replace a good dispatcher!!!

when i read the title of this post i thought it was a shoutout to mr. crabtree.

glad to hear cityjet is still working out for you guys.

 

[DoinTime]

I assume you still need to be rated in the -146 prior to consideration?

 

[TurboAWD]

Hey DT,

Looking for a new job?

and the conditions are very good.

Avro

9 days off per month
Captain also pulls dispatch duties
moving away from family to foreign country

Sounds "very good" to me

Hmm as much as I miss flying the Avro, since you put it that way I think I will learn to like the CRJ9's

Ummmm.. do you have the slightest clue what is involved with these 14 exams? Clearly not.. The quickest I have seen anyone get through them is 5 months..

Read his whole post, dude.

He said he STILL doesn't have the conversion done after almost a year. Nowhere did he say it was fast.

No, you are right, the implication is that it is easy.

My bad... I missed that part.

Now I'm sorry. Reading it I thought you were talking speed, not ease. And it is made to sound easier than it is.

[altimaklr]

Any chance at Cityjet for non-avro rated FOs?

Ha Ha now that there is some funny poop.
I don't care who u are.

 

[Skaff]

Come back and you can fly the 9.

I assume that you mean the DC-9, because the CRJ-900 and the payrates you fly are not nearly cool enough to be called the 9. The 9 has and always will be the DC-9. Might as well call the 900 a guppy or a mad-dog. Done with my rant...you can put your ipod headphones back in your ears now.

 

[AvroJockey]

Ummmm...I do, since I've taken some of them.

JAA ATPL Exams aren't easy, but they're not the end of the World. You pay Bristol to access the question bank, study the questions, and take the test. It's not rocket science, it's pay your fee and get your B!

But hey...If having JAA CPL in your profile makes you feel special and superior, more power to ya!

I can honestly say that I've had more time at home that when I was at Mesaba. Also, JAR rest rules are very conservative. I'm never fatigued, and never need recovery time from a trip. Also, the crew are awesome, so you don't even feel like your at work.

You don't have dispatching duties. The job isn't any different than in the States, but there's no joint responsibility...Only the Captain is responsible.

I actually moved my whole family to Ireland, and it has been the coolest experience. We will really miss it when we eventually go home.

Did you fly for Cityjet? If not, you don't have a valid opinion.

Perhaps you are right. Forgive me if I attended a ground school that actually cared about students knowing the material, and not just "paying the fee and getting the B". But hey if you are comfortable with that, more power to you

That being said, I do wish you luck with the rest of the exams, bacause I remember what hell they were, and dont ever want to see them again.
Then, you too can have JAA CPL in your profile
