3. What is the commuter policy, in a nutshell.
4. Is new hire training done in the 200 or 900?
5. What is the most junior base?
Thanks,

1. At this time they do not.
2. Only the CRJ200 base is closing in MSP and when it does that will probably result in around 100-120 pilots being displaced.
3. Call in honest policy. Give yourself two viable flights to get to your base (i.e. aren't oversold, get you in base at least 45 prior to the start of your flight, etc.). If you can't get on the first one you call crew scheduling and they
MAY get you a positive space ticket on your next attempt.
4. Currently all new hires are training on the 900 but I imagine they will start splitting the classes again soon.
5. NYC is probably the most junior and will stay that way. ATL is too new to make any predictions on what will happen there.
You guys are in a really crappy situation which I have nothing but respect for. 9E isn't a bad place to work. You obviously have previous 121 time so in theory you could apply to become a CA on the first vacancy while you are working here but that would also require the 9E to waive some restrictions that are in place.
