It's a ways out yet, but I would guess mostly MEM and a few DTW. If you want MSP, you'll have to commute for it (like the good ole' days)

Once I have a SIM date, it is then my responsibility to non-rev to one of the hubs where I will then be positive spaced to the SIM location?
You are correct on all accounts... PM me if you need any details on the wonderful world of non-reving/jumpseating.

I did the same, just make sure not to tell the hotel though or they charge $5 a night, but never check if you dont tell them. (was given the scoop by a friendly front desk person)

So with there being only 10 destinations for the CRJ200, do they expect to add more cities with the more CRJ200s they get?

So how many CRJ-200 FO's will there be in total? Does the CRJ-200 have a ACARS at Mesaba?

I would guess that it would be close to the same number of CA, some where in the neighborhood of 85-100 if I had to take a stab at it. Someone on the inside might know better than me. Yes, the 200 has ACARS, no printer though.

We are hiring street CA's... as soon as you think you're ready and have the ATP mins you can upgrade.

Into the CRJ?
Depends greatly on the base. At DTW the CR9 upgrade is currently less than a year. In MSP the CR2 is around 4 years now and the CR9 is a closer to 10.

Thanks
As always, subject to change...
