No, systems is right here in MSP, and we stay here until the oral exam, which for us is around Jan 5th. We started Dec 3rd, but our schedule is a little out of the norm since we have the Mondays and Tuesdays of xmas and new year's off.

What are some other routes besides the ones listed on APC for CRJ900 out of DTW & MEM

I beleive there is a 36 month seat lock unless you upgrade for FOs, last bid package had 39 people for the 200 with 13 bidding. IMHO great plane to fly (apu is nice this time a year and SJS) but the lines suck and wont get better until we get more planes (you will make more money on the saab, more hours and better efficientcy), training is backed up and you probably wont fly until next summer and you will fly with very senior captains which has its pros and cons and finally you will be upgrading to a Saab which means new seat, new airplane, and different type of flying. Dont know if you can switch though
