Sir, I have a question. Suppose you're looking to getting hired around the end of the year, and assume you want the DTW base. However, [assume] that there is a Delta crew base of ATL that opens up, and you get assigned ATL.
Now, since both pilots are going to fly the CRJ200 and CRJ900, I'm assuming the lines will be all thrown together in the mix.
Does that mean that even if you were ATL based, during training, you can bid for and get DTW?
I know that's a lot of hypotheticals, and no one knows of any new base yet, or how all of it is going to work, but still.
Just gauging for your opinions on this.
Thanks!

Difference training does only take 2 days from what I have heard from friends at other airlines, but like you said, imagine sending all 1200 of us for difference training on 1 900 sim in Memphis, CAT II training, and new hire initial training. That is not going to happen in a timely manner unless they start sending us to other locations around the country. Like Phil said on the conference call, this is going to be a difficult year for PNCL, and that is one comment he made that I actually agree with.
