It's a bit disheartening when I want to fly and hustle to break guarantee to cover some unforeseen expenses and the upcoming holidays!

With regard to MSP900FO, I think it just depends on which carrier you came from. Pre-merger mesaba pilots in late 07 through Jan 08 are certainly not able to hold M9F. Only pre-merger pinnacle or colgan, in that time frame, would hold M9F. Pre-merger mesaba in that DOH range, are barely even able to hold DTW 200 FO or even MSP 200 FO.
When speaking of DOH to hold a particular position, you really have to always consider the worst case scenario; and that depends on the position, as to which pilot group made out worse on the ISL.
