I'm in the Sep 6 class hoping to go to MSP in any a/c...hoping that can happen.

I don't know if this has already been asked, but how long is the interview process? Does it take a day?

I think there is a good chance of that happening. If it doesn't happen in class I think you can get to MSP fairly quick, probably within the first 6-9 months. It's possible you may get to participate in the next AE. I'm hearing it may be as late as October. An AE is Advanced Entitlement, and gives you the opportunity to switch aircraft.(if there are vacancies and you can hold that vacancy) Last I checked there are a lot of slots in MSP 320 and MSP M88.

I believe it is 2 days in length.

Does anyone know if any July 14/15 interviewees have received the 'Cleared to Train' call?

Thanks for the advice.

Look hard at the MD. You'll hold a line sooner than you ever will in the 320. Even though there are vacancies in both, migration will eventually take place to the more desirable airplane. Don't let all the round dials and crazy flows scare you.

How about the DC9? What are the available bases for that? Is it pretty junior?

Early coordination?

I hope you're right. I want people to get off this thing and they keep bidding into it.

No idea. Just commenting on someone earlier post. We have been talking up AS for years.
We get all the milk for free so it would just cost money to buy her. If someone else wanted to purchase her, we could not let that happen. No more no less.
