Perfectly stated. If you indicate you are willing to work with them, then they will most likely work with you.

Some items to note:

1) If you want to be in DTW or MEM, you do NOT want to be in the CRJ 200. They are all going to MSP. The Saab and CRJ 900 will be in all 3 domiciles.

2) If you have ATP minimums (or an ATP) you will likely be steered towards the Saab as you will likely upgrade to Captain in that aircraft soon.

That was in fact my concern. If the upgrade will take place within 6-12 months, it seems obvious to want to learn the aircraft from the right seat before assuming the responsibility of the left seat. I suppose the upgrades in both RJ's will remain relatively longer until all are in the system.

anyone who interviewed on the 7th get a call back yet?

Upgrade in the Saab is now down to less than 30 days if you are ATP qualified. Infact, street CAs are being hired for the Saab.

It appears you are more interested in CRJ upgrades. That being the case, you would be advised to bid for the CRJ CA slot and put Saab CA slot below your present position (FO) when and if you get on board with XJ. Upgrade time in the CRJ slot now is unpredictable at best. Next 2 months will give a better picture.

I will be there on the 29th...I hope all goes well as Mesaba is my number one choice! I got some good info over at ******************. Looks like the normal test, HR/Tech, and sim. Where are you out of? I hope if I get on board that I can get into Detroit. I have lived here my whole life! Also, what were your Hrs at to get the invite? I'm at 940/60 as we speak!

BenFluth216

Mesaba is also my number one choice, I hope everything goes well for the both of us. I would love to get MSP since I have lived around here my entire life. I got the call at 360/30, so you are way better off there lol.

dtw is a junior base for the saab and cr9 so you should hold it in training, all cr200 are msp based

floyd78

I actually hope to get the Saab anyway! There is something about that plane that just excites me. Oh well, I will just be happy to make it on board. Good luck to you too, I will see you there.
