Instructors aren't in the know, as much as they think they are. They don't know any more of substance than the rest of us. The meaty bits of info can't be public for obvious reasons. HR doesn't even know when the next class of new hires from the pool will be!
BTW - they're not our routes... they're NWA's routes that they allocate equipment to. If they allocate the saab, 900 or some 200s, then we fly 'em. Nothing is ever set in stone and that's why our route map changes so much.
The majority of the 900 flying is replacement for avro flying that went away to the 200 when the fleet was parked. NWA pilots can't get too bent out of shape about what Mesaba does... after all, we weren't created and spawned by NWA and have working with NWA and their pilots since the 80s. After all, it's their scope that allows our very existence. We do the flying they don't want.
Hang in there guy... reserve for some was short and sweet, but reserve isn't a new concept either and shouldn't be a surprise to any new FO.
