Sent an email today to HR, they said everybody is in a pool for now, there is a meeting on the situation tomorrow with more to follow. It could go anywhere from this point. Who knows....

My best guess is there a "bigger picture" for Mesaba that is not ready for announcement. High morale, good performance, outstanding training section, reliable operations, award winning maintenance - these are the accomplishments you reward not punish. Sometimes short term trauma turns into long range benefits. I suggest if you were scheduled for a class and cancelled, don't take your name out of the pool.

I have confirmation from a friend that they got the call from HR yesterday saying the Jan 5th class was canceled too...it's legit. I'm scheduled for March 2nd class...haven't heard anything yet but assume I'll get the call here after their meeting

Better strap in tight for this bumpy ride. Sorry to the ones with classes canceled. Hope something good will follow in the next few months..

I was in the 2/2 class and have not received a phone call yet. I guess they are taking awhile to let everyone know...

What makes sense to the investors and stockholders may not make sense to the the employees. What makes sense to the employees may not make sense to the investors and stockholders. The hard part is finding what makes sense to both.

The first rule of business is unless you are part of both groups, you don't give a crap about the other group because your interests are generally at odds with each other.....

Right - with some modification. The first rule of business is to "stay in business." Eventually both groups will agree to some extent or everybody looses.
