Folks at Mesaba were great, however Pinnacle has the final say. I know of one guy who got the rescind offer email from Pinnacle the day after Mesaba gave him a class date. Weirdoramma!

Brutal. In order to give two weeks, I had to give notice at my current job the day after I got the firm offer. It would have been pretty awkward if I had to go in the next day like, hey, you know I was just joking right?

Please don't tell me they hired a guy that feathered the wrong engine

I don't know about everyone else, but my sim eval in Minneapolis was failure free as we were told it would be. Just climbs, turns, descents, situational awareness with a VOR radial, and then vectors to an ILS. Piece of cake if ever there was one.

I heard some talk at the interview of DEN and ORD and possibly LAX becoming bases, anyone heard of these rumors? I suppose if they are true that would mean Colgan is going to exercise the options for the other 30 Q400s. Anyone know if its possible to hold IAH straight out of class?

From what I understand, 0% on the Q, perhaps more likely on the Saab?

And everyone I've talked to seems to believe it's more a matter of when, not if, they're taking those 30 options. But as always, optimism is subject to change.
