do the classes usually run saabs every two weeks and rjs every 4 weeks? (2 saab classes a month and one rj a month)
also, say one is put in DTW or MEM, what is commuting from MSP like? once awarded MSP, do you get a line right away or are you put on reserve?
It appears new-hire classes are running every couple of weeks or so. Your initial class, when you first arrive will likely include mostly saab drivers with jet drivers mixed in. After you get through indoc and CRM you will be split up for a/c specific general subjects and then systems.
Commuting from MSP or any domicile will depend on where you're coming from/going to and how full those flights run.
Most new hires now will probably do little to no reserve at all due to the growth. At least thats what they're telling us. In sept, we will be taking 2 CRJ200's and 2 CR9's (4 a/c) per month, so expect things to really be in a full swing and a lot of new bodies on the property to staff all those a/c. Barring anything catastrophic to the industry, the opportunity to get hired on with XJ at this time cannot be overstated. Good luck!
