How things have changed there....no furlough, down-sizing, or bankruptcy talk. At least for now. Nice to see...
Happy Thanksgiving

Do you think it would be possible to hold MEM by the time training is done?

Very likely... when the initial vacancy comes out it reflects new vacant positions systemwide. Those positions will be bid on FIRST by current line pilots. Once the award is out, the newhires get to bid on what's left over. So... you may not see MEM on the vacancy today, it is very possible that 6 MEM saab FOs bid to the MSP and DTW positions therefore creating 6 MEM saab positions for newhires.

Newhires should pay more attention to the vacancy AWARDS and not the vacancy notices... except for the number of new positions.

Got a call today to switch from 1/5 class to 1/19... From Saab to CRJ-200. I declined, but curious if anyone else slated to go on 1/5 decided to switch?

You furloughed guys that are going to Mesaba... Are they asking you if you are to give up your seniority number at your current airline. I'm about to be F'd here, not really willing to give mine up. It can't be legal to ask that anyway..can it?

On the first day of ground school you are to sign a letter resigning your seniority number at your past employer...

I got the same call today and took it. I really wanted Minneapolis and am happy to wait two more weeks for that!
