Started Mid-January(2008) on the 900 and based out of MSP as an FO, been on reserve ever since I've gotten on the line...I'm fortunate enough to hold the last line next month...but even so my seniority still holds the #2 reserve line...my guess is just like that previously posted...barring any more aircraft coming on to the property those who are coming to Mesaba now will be sitting reserve for quite some time...I'de say upwards to a year...MSP and DTW seem to be about the same...you'de have better chances in MEM...typically we have around 10 reserve lines on the 900 for DTW and MSP not sure about MEM since they don't have alot of 900's...i think they like to have 3-4 guys on reserve a day with at least 1 person sitting AM ready reserve at the airport(5AM-1PM) and 1 person sitting PM ready reserve(4PM-12AM)
