If this were really the case they wouldn't have transfered FOs from the Saab to the jet one month only to have new hires in the Saab the following month. They are still finishing training the new Saab guys in the 900 while running new Saab classes at the same time. How much sense would that make if nothing was up? Why would Delta have higher staffing needs than us? I say 36 new 900s. May get rid of some of the 200s though.

Can I add more to my prediction? Dash 8s in 2010. And picking up more Saabs from AE. . .

That being said, mainline won't pay for extra crews but they will penalize the regionals for being understaffed, as in the case of Pinnacle in '05.
Something is up here at Mesaba. But until the merger is complete one way or another there won't be any announcements. But after living through the 2004 contract and the bankruptcy, we are entitled to a little positive gossip.

Soooo, I interviewed this past week and the anticipation is killing me! In the power point presentation it mentioned it could take 7-10 days to get the call. Some have reported on here that they have received the call in as little as 2 days and 3 days. Is it possible that those with a quick response have had prior 121 expierence?
I'll try to chill, it's only been 3 business days.

Depending on how often this group gets together (ie after x-number of days or candidates) you may wait more or less days depending on where your interview group was in the process.
Be patient.

Part of the process that goes on behind the scenes is that the people who do the interviewing get together in a conference room and discuss each interview. Like/dislikes, quals, and issues. Then they vote on who gets a call.

I know of someone around here who interviewed with Mesaba two weeks ago and got a rejection letter in the mail two days later. (I agree, two days is a short time) I'm hoping I don't get anything on Monday. The wait is killing me, that's for sure.
