Metro cab charges a minimum fare of $15 and takes 10 mins. The guys in the ramp office can be pretty busy and get a bit grumpy if you show later than one hour before hand. If you are running behind they are ok with that if you give them a heads up. DTW fedex ramp number is 7347842163. I catch flight 1218 to MEM and then on to Denver or Wichita. Flights are always on time. The FedEx drivers are always super nice and helpful. If you have any other questions let me know on here or PM.

Thanks I definitely appreciate the help. We ended up being delayed and got in too late for any cargo options. I'm pretty sure I'll have to use fedex or UPS sometime in the future though.

Don't forget about DHL as an option now. It looks like they've shifted the flying from TOL up to DTW, on Atlas

You actually arrange it with the base manager, before the monthly bid period opens. You can submit your yearly schedule if you want or go month to month. If you're going on TDYs or a longer term leave that requires orders, you submit those. I never had any problems with getting time off, even on a few occasions where I forgot to submit the request until during, or even after, the bid period. They've also been pretty cool about getting me the time off even if I didn't have orders in hand by bidding time but knew they were on the way. The base manager in MSP is a former Air Force crewmember, so he "gets it." I have heard that guys in other bases have had occasional issues. With all that said, even though the law says they HAVE to give you the time off for military duty, it doesn't mean you can call them up the day before a TDY you've known about for weeks and not expect a little blowback.

New hires aren't getting anything "juicy" that they gotta keep quiet. Keep in mind, for many new hires, this is their first job outside of the university instructor job... Perspective.

Does endeavor require signing a contract if offered a position as FO?

Only if you go through the CTP course. That's $2500 for 12 months, which is prorated after your first day of OE. They pay for the course, hotel, and airfare while you're at CAE.

Is that active for 12 months? Or just on seniority? I will have to take mil leave before that 12 months is up.

We're supposed to hand our logbooks over for review the first week of training. Is this like a complete audit, or are they just checking the ATP requirements.

I have paper and digital logs and was just curious if I needed to total out my paper logbook.
