I interviewed on 4/18 (Wed.) and had my packet and job offer on 4/24 (Mon.) Told to expect a July class date. I didn't get told what aircraft either. Rumor has it you find out first day of class. I could be wrong though.

As far as when you find out about the equipment you'll fly, in the past they've told new hires within the first week or two. It really doesn't matter until systems class.

Future planning
I know this is still 3 years away, but I'm currently a FE in the AF and riding the fence right now to either A) Finish another 10 years and have retirement at 40 or B) Get out and try again at the airline career. Mind you all I have right now is a private and multi with about 120 hours so I'd have to finish up somewhere back in the motherland of MN, which is why Mesaba is so attractive to me. Now my real question is, would having a FE ticket have any more push when it comes to putting in the application? The systems thing doesn't really bother me as I fly on a powerplant in the sky with a mere 8 gens. Any insights would be great.

BTW, its not so much your FE ticket than your military training/experience that would be impressive. Best of luck.

As of now, I would speculate 18 months for a late July date. Maybe sooner depending on attrition in that time. Tomorrow there is an an award for 25 upgrades...we'll see how junior the Saab Captain goes and I will update the thread.
