Question for Mesaba guys

[Auburn_CFI]

Are all of the street CA's going to the SAAB?

 

[Limeyflyer]

Streets to SAAB only

does mesaba have AQP?

We have a lot of SOB's though........just kidding, want to talk about reserve? I have been here over 4 years and I am on reserve right now.....imagine how long you will be on reserve. But then again, I am in msp. I would be holding over 15 days off a month at any other base. its a good place to work, you should give it a shot. We have movement, more airplanes will be coming and most important, lots of people cannot wait to leave from the NWA flow (or elsewhere).

do they have ASAP?

Asap

do they have ASAP?

Yes we do have an ASAP program.

 

[Mesabi Miner]

Yes we do have an ASAP program.

However, our ASAP program may be in jeopardy due to recent events spawned by management. ALPA issued a statement advising pilots to not talk to the company without ALPA representation for any reason even under the protection of an ASAP.

Great, a new era of holding back and scared for your career.......thanks management! If you are a captain at XJ, here is the deal, think twice before becoming a LCA or instructor. I for one was seriously looking into applying for one of those jobs, but now.....I hope other pilots take my road and hope no one else takes the open positions. Let them squirm with no one to train their precious new pilots. Double time for line check airmen.......instructors........120 hours of pay? sounds good to me.

Yes we do have an ASAP program.

Curious, an Aviation Safety Action Program is similar in concept to the NTSBs ASRS?

Some sort of deal where if you have an inadvertent violation/make a mistake it's treated as a training/learning opportunity instead of automatically kicking you off the property?

I'm just trying to learn this airline stuff.

Thanks!

I have a question that is off the street captain subject. How long is the break between sims and IOE in MEM for an FO, and how long should I expect to be on reserve? Thanks.
