As many of you probably are unaware that Mesaba Airlines was sold to Pinnacle Corp. last summer. As part of the sale all of Mesaba operations would be either transfered to another airline with the remaining assets and jobs moving down to Memphis TN. This includes my current position. Although I have heard that MEM is a nice area, neither myself or Kate have had a longing or heard the call to head there but at the same time have left the option on the table.
This posting is to say that we will not be heading to MEM with Mesaba Airlines and I will likely terminate my employment with them. I have been given a conditional job offer to work for Delta Airlines here in the Twin Cities as a line mechanic at the MSP airport. This is all pending a successful, drug test and audiogram along with the fingerprinting as part of the background check. If all goes well (and it should) I could be starting mid January, just in time for the wonderful crisp weather and temperatures.
This is an exciting transition for us and we look forward to the future growth opportunities at Delta and to also stay in Minnesota to enjoy the four seasons and friendships that have grown deep.
Merry Christmas everybody ! ! !
