Holy crap... that's more than I made per month as a first year FO.... I only need coverage for one month and then my bennies at XJ should kick in.... I just cant afford to be without health insurance. Thanks for the info.

I got a notice a week or so ago, looked like cobra individual benefits are around $300-350/month. Instead I've gone online to other sources and found insurance for around $75; there's a lot of other cheaper plans if you google for health insurance.

Well, if it is just you and/or spouse -no kids-, i'd take a chance for a month. I have so many, I call them by numbers. When do you start at XJ?.

Also, I believe you can get cobra after a few months ifnyou neednir by paying retroactive premiums.

So no need to get it unless there is a problem I the first coupl
e months

I'm just sick of the regional airline industry. That was one of the main reasons I did not want to go to Mesaba, because I would be affiliated with Deltoid again, and I had this feeling that they and/or Compass will somehow get screwed as well. The whipsaw and beatdown between DCI carrier will continue!!

MESABA AIRLINES
December 29, 2008
Fellow colleagues:
Early last month, Mesaba announced continued growth for our regional jet fleet with the addition of 15 CRJ-900 aircraft beginning in January 2009. This allotment resulted from our excellent operational performance, outstanding safety record, and demonstrated ability to facilitate rapid expansion while maintaining our low cost structure.
Recently, we were informed that Delta Connection will re-allocate 10 of these aircraft to Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA), as a part of their global strategy. Through this business agreement, ASA will remove 20 of their less efficient CRJ-200 aircraft from the Delta Connection fleet.
I want to be clear that this decision is not reflective of Mesaba, but rather an opportunity for Delta Connection to “right-size” its fleet for future market growth. Our strategy remains the same – provide safe, reliable service to our passengers, and manage our costs. This strategy has led to rapid growth for our airline in 2007 and 2008, and growth that will continue in 2009.
Mesaba will take delivery of five Delta CRJ-900s, (as originally planned) three on February 12 and two on February 19. Also beginning on February 19, we will operate all five aircraft from Salt Lake City, serving eight markets from Delta’s western hub. This acquisition allows us to become the largest operator of 76-seat aircraft in the Delta family, evidence that our core business structure remains strong.
While the reduced aircraft allotment may appear disappointing, the reality is that our airline continues to grow. We have continued to expand aggressively – adding 52 aircraft in the past 19 months – as other carriers are cutting back. While we have currently suspended hiring additional flight crews, we do not anticipate any furloughs to occur because of this decision, at this time.
This remains an exciting time for our airline as we stretch our service westward and continue to expand our fleet. I thank you, once again, for your dedication and service to Mesaba Airlines
Regards

Like I posted in the previous thread, anybody can be a COMAIR.
Looks like Delta is having man sex with another DCI Carrier again, with no astro gel.
