Hehe, oops. I posted a similar thread, and chance the mods can merge or close mine?Well, the 9/8 class has been revised from six 900 new hires, to 15 900 new hires and 20 Saab new hires.
If you're in the pool at XJ right now, you'd better start packing your bags.
That's no joke. I was lounging around Monday doing absolutely nothing, got a call from Minnesota, answered, lo and behold they had my application from a few months ago (I honestly didn't think they even kept it) and wanted me to fly out the next day for a Wednesday (i.e., today) interview.If you're in the pool at XJ right now, you'd better start packing your bags.

I don't think anyone (not even the guys from HR/recruiting) knows why their hiring has suddenly picked up again.
At any rate: cue rumor mill.
Nothing worth writing home about; shy of 900/150.Mind sharing your times?
I can only assume they'll be posting something in the coming days. From what they were saying, the critters in upper management informed recruting late Monday that they wanted a class of 35 for September. How I managed to land myself on their doorstep was I filled out an application online when I found out I was being furloughed from TSA (this was back in June-ish). Most people interviewing had sent in an application even earlier than that.Looks like Mesaba is not posting that they are hiring. I was looking if anyone has information? Also what's the deal with the pay rate for FO's and 900 rates? Those really seem very subpar in general. Any info is greatly appreciated.
All FO's are paid the same rate because it's not a position that you bid. 900 FO's are lower time typically so why would they get paid more? We already have 900 FO's acting like dou che bags so why pay them more to reinforce that behavior? Realize $23.38(24.23 as of 12/1) is still concessionary and look at the what some other companies pay first year including the almighty SkW. Our first year pay is more than Pinnacle 2nd year pay.Looks like Mesaba is not posting that they are hiring. I was looking if anyone has information?

Well two things. FO pay is a blended rate between both jets and Saab, and we are in "bankruptcy" contract so LOA 23 comes into effect. LOA 23 goes out dec 1. of this year and its a bump in pay. LOA ends and we goto contract rates that bump up on a date of signing. By 2010 first year FO's make just under 26 an hour. If you want some exact numbers I can break them down a little more within reason. You will find out here, by in large, FO's try for equipment for QOL reasons.Looks like Mesaba is not posting that they are hiring. I was looking if anyone has information?

I think we have new hires for both because with all the realigning/saab to 900 fo transfer the numbers are at equalibrium. That makes us a little short for both FO's(because we are still taking deliveries of 5 more 900's) and have to back fill a few sf CA's.Wonder why they revised it from 6 new hires all the way up to 35 new hires. Did crew planning really screw up their projections or is there something brewing? Any juice rumors out there?
What an ass hat. I wish other CA's at this company would ST FU some times. Like I want to have to crush the FO's hopes of upgrading in 3 monmths when its going to be 3 years.Just a rumor that I heard from a Captain the other day...
The 900's that Delta took from Freedom will be finding their way home with Mesaba. It would make sense with the increase in the new hire class. Either way, it's good news for Mesaba if it is indeed true.
I thought you boys in DTW and MSP were nipping that crap in the bud. The -900 FO's down here in MEM are pretty respectful and I assumed the new "scared straight" program at Mesaba was doing that :nana2:We already have 900 FO's acting like dou che bags so why pay them more to reinforce that behavior?
Hehe, you need to come to Memphis brother. We are much calmer and... southern. Walk slow, talk slow, taxi slow. *stretch* cat nap time- Sorry for the rant I hate the jr high rumors.
