Hey I got a question. How do you put yourself on the non-rev list or CASS for a jumpseat somewhere? Do you just go to the Non-Rev site and put your stuff in? Or is there some other procedure. If you know how to do it could somebody PM me. Thanx I have used the system before(never really had a need to).

Does anyone know what bases will be offered for the April 7th CRJ-900 class? If not, does anyone know what the last class mostly got? I'm looking to get into DTW, just seeing what my chances are.

From what I understand it will probably go 50/50 MEM and DTW, I too will be bidding for DTW, although MSP is what I really want

looks like the last 2 planes you took from us were in feb. I thought there were supposed to be 2 more in early march, it hasnt happened. Anyone know why? Our people are saying its becuase you can't handle them right now.

we have 18 900's the 19 coming on 4/15
you guys need to relax and stop rushing to apc when you get a memo to see if you can be the first to post it.
there are several reasons that could be delaying the arrival of your airplanes to us. gas prices, delta merger talks, pinnacle mx standards v mesaba mx standards, staffing, etc pick one, i will write a memo

Hey man i completely understand, the thing is, is that I want it to be over with. I am sick of getting junior man calls. I know it wont fix the problem, but with our ATL ops getting up to 5 or six planes and growing, we are not staffed to handle the whole thing without getting rid of some to you.

The Mesaba Fleet manager for the CRJ200/900 at mesaba came into our 200 class and explained the deal with getting the 200's. There is no guarrentee of getting two per month. But over the period in which we get the aircraft it averages out to two per month. So really one month we could get nothing and the next month we could get 4. Also we have had a backup of aircraft in CWA geting there refit to mesaba specs. Some of them have taken longer than expected. There is no slow down to the aircraft transfers. We are on track to get 15 9E CRJ's. The only backup in the 200 program is having enough 200's to get people on there OE. My two cents.

Pinnacle FO/Airsupport -
Is it possible for you to delve into any facts before you post here? We haven't taken a plane since Feb? Ok... what about the one that arrived last week? Stop hijacking this thread and tainting it with your negativity.
Stop drinking Uncle Phils kool-aid and stop trying to stir the pot on APC. He can tell you all the negative things he wants about Mesaba, the fact is that he doesn't know what he's talking about. We can't handle anymore planes? WE NEED more planes to clear our training backlog. People are waiting for IOE for long periods of time, because we aren't getting the planes FAST enough. Despite the fact you guys want to believe Mesaba is exactly like Pinnacle... it's not. We don't have a shortage of pilots. We aren't having problems filling classes or retaining pilots.
