Your avatar is awesome! I still remember seeing that episode and thinking what a great line that was.

Anyway I'm starting July 30th, making the wait exactly 2 months from the interview. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to drive the 22 hours to Eagan in order to have my car out there... I think I will. Anyway, we'll definitely be in touch.

Oh yeah...and CONGRATS!!

Hey - you're going to be in class with a guy from Rochester with the initials K.M.

Tell him the photographer he loves flying with wants to schedule a flight.

Thank you everyone! Soon I'll be doing low approaches to clear deer off runways and overnighting in one horse towns. It's amazing how many people are getting hired there. They said in orientation that they're about 1/3rd done hiring, and they've hired about 200.

The growing Mesaba clan is going to start taking this board back from the standing XJT and Colgan establishment.

The best line of that episode was...

Well, when people get the "call," some are asking what equipment they're on. Like I said in a previous post, some of them are turning down the job if they hear Saab.

I didn't ask what equipment I'm on, and will be awaiting the moment I open up my folder on the first day of indoc. Kinda like waiting to see the gender of your baby.

It's amazing, at my flight school (biggest and busiest in the Twin Cities) we had 7 CFIs on staff as of two months ago. FIVE have been hired by Mesaba! Those last 2 guys are going to have full schedules!
