No word on MEM base yet. DTW is expected to open April-May timeframe and will likely go senior for CA, prolly junior for FOs.

EFBs are installed only in the two newest airplanes but don't have any software yet. They're saying ~6 mos to EFB functionality, which we all know means more like a year.

Planning on 5 CAs per airplane so around 180 CAs...once you take out management pilots that puts the most junior CA around #200 when we get all the planes. Of course we could potentially get another 18 airframes but I wouldn't count on it at all, Mesaba has an equally good chance of getting them. Everyone beyond #200 will be dependent on attrition for upgrade.
