I am considering applying for a captain position with Mesaba. First, I have read the previous posts and I have a lot of respect for all the pilots who waited an enternity to upgrade. I am facing that where I work. I just need to ask a few questions.
Is DTW going to be the junior base for Saab captains and how long would it realistically take to get MSP?
How long would a street captain expect to be on reserve? This I know is probably long, but a ballpark figure.
What are the average days off for reserves? Are they the min days off, or are there some lines with more?
Those are just a few that I had to ask, I am just not feeling like I am going to move forward any time soon where I work and I need to consider my options. I don't see an upgrade at my company for atleast 3 more years. I have been there over 3 now. I just need to assure myself that I'd be making the right choice.
Thanks in advance. Fly safe!
