Could someone give the highlights of the last AE and any scheduling/Operation updates as to where they are going to be putting new hires in the coming months. Specifically if there was or will be any movement into MSP or DTW. Thanks in advance

MSP - M88, 320, 7ER
DTW - 717, 73N, 7ER, 320
7ER gives you the widest choice of bases and flying system wide, but you will be junior in the category longer.

If you can, chose an airplane that is in MSP or DTW to move within the one year seat lock. Based on the August AE results, DTW would happen sooner than MSP.

I hope to be an SLC new hire soon (Fingers crossed for Nov training, treading water in the pool), do I need to get 737 assignment to have a shot at SLC? Thx.
