Unlikely unless FTB was in Australia circa 1971 but if I say yes I wonder if FTB will write me a strong letter of recommendation to make up for the the years of neglect of such a close family member?

Is it 68 or 88 Mesaba guys? I read in an earlier post on this thread the Mesaba guys flow at a maximum of 9 per month. Can anybody confirm the Mesaba numbers?

I also read earlier in this thread that it should be 50 a month for the first few months in 2013 and then dropping to 20 per month after that. I'll re-run the spreadsheet with Johny Drama's numbers for Compass, 100 recalls and the 20 per month hiring. The 20 per month will make it look really really bad for street hires until the Compass guys are all used up. Maybe I should have gone to Compass!

Is there any other info that I need to correct or finesse?

Ultimately I'm trying to figure out if I should hang at the regional with a potentially upgrade next year while waiting for a chance to interview at Delta or just jump ship to the first non-regional that will take me, be that Spirit, Frontier, Virgin, Allegiant, US Airways, United or American and then try to get that Delta interview. It seems career decisions at the airlines have so much more impact than a similar decision in my previous industry.
