For the Saab, all newhires are going to MEM or DTW initially and it takes about 4 months to get to MSP. MSP is the senior base and the movement is much slower there than the other bases.

For the Avro, much longer. Over a year, about 1 year a few months to be exact. The Avro is a fairly senior aircraft in MSP. You're better off going to the Saab just to move up the domicile list quicker.

If you're lucky enough, all 15 CRJs are initially based in MSP so in this case you'll be right at home. We have 20 CRJs on option and for all intents and purposes, we should get. (NWA likes to spoon feed it's regionals). "Rumor" has it that most, if not all, of Pinnacle will be booted out of MSP and reassigned to MKE and IND. Our MSP CRJ could increase significantly in the next year.

Good luck!
