FROM RJ85FO on another post.
Positions are awarded based on vacancy notices that are issued to all active pilots. Crew planning is simply feeding numbers to HR to tell them how many pilots they need on property each month. HR has no idea what aircraft you will be assigned, because the vacancy for the new hire class you will be in may not have come out by the time you are offered a job.
There are two line pilot positions at Mesaba. First Officer and Captain. We do not hire CR9 F/O's or SF3 F/O's. We hire F/O's. The pay and choice of bases are the same for each aircraft at the F/O level.
Traditionaly, you are notified in advance (maybe a week or two) of the aircraft you have been assinged and some training information is sent out prior to you coming to class. Sometimes, and this wave of hiring may be a good example, the material is not available in time, and you will find out your aircraft Day one of class when they pass out the "folders."
