I was going from SEA - YEG the other day and heard Compass on the radio. Are they flying to YVR or do the routes go to SoCal? Thanks.

MSP to YVR and also MSP to MSO are about the furthest west they go.

All the classes I have seen lately have had 6 and seem to be starting every week. I'm sure there is some down time coming for the holidays though. We definately broke that 110 they were planning on hiring. However It was mentioned that maybe they just wanted to have 110 line qualified by 12-31-07. This would seem much more accurate.

I was told I'd be in the 150s, but the 160 seem more likely. I just want to get started!!!

You maybe in the 150s.....The most junior guy in my class was number 152....We go back for our 5 MSP days on Monday, and I don't know if there was any classes after us, so your class may be next?

I know there's at least one in Jan, if not two. I'm up for Feb 15, so there's prob. one more in Feb too. I sent Craig an email - guess I'll just have to wait and see....

What's the home study like? They said it was fairly intense. Any chance it will work on a Mac, or is it Windoze only?

I will not work on a Mac, luckily my wife has a PC so I could get it done. I just finished the course, I figure it took me about 60 hours to do it. It takes time to go through the material, take notes, and then pass the exam. There are 30 general subjects, each with an exam. The systems portion has I believe 12 or 14 subjects, then 1 systems test. I actually got a lot out of the course, it was a good review.
