Hang in there...MSP will start to see movement again now that the 200's will be coming on the certificate.

How much input does a newhire have, when given the nod to begin training, in requesting a certain aircraft or specific base?

Squawk_5543

As far as I know, you will get whatever equipment the have vacancies for and you will be based whatever base they have vacancies for. If you can refrain from being picky up front, you can hold anything in a relatively short amount of time.

Quick question for you Mesaba guys based in DTW. Do any of you know the crew rate for the Metropolitan Hotel or who to contact about a possible crashpad there? In groundschool some of the Captain upgrades mentioned they had a crashpad there; I just got off IOE and I am looking for a place for the rest of November.



Thx

Yep. That is how it is happening.

Yes, so far 15 are coming from 9E, and we have two that NWA bought new just prior to the bankruptcy. 17 total by next summer.

Base information available on 11-27.

The Metropolitan Hotel is a godsend for commuters to DTW. For a while the price fluctuated between $30-$40 per night. I don't know where it settled down at.

Quite a lot actually but DO NOT be obnoxious about it. Be a team player and most people seems to be getting the base they want as soon as they finish their training. Upgrade is coming so fast if you are ATP qualified, it does not matter which AC you get assigned unless you have an obsession to fly a particular AC.
