remember you can only use this for Destination and First Alternate...not second alternate or takeoff alternate

I just got back from MN and the interview, I am sorry I do not have much to add from anyone else's comments on the process, but I can attest to the relaxed atmosphere the Mesaba personnel project during the whole day. Everyone was really friendly and I felt at ease from the moment I walked in the door. 6 of us started the day, and from what we could tell, 4 of us ended the day. For myself, I am fairly confident about how I did, but I know I messed up a thing a two that in my opinion I should not have, so I am not sure how the HR dept will see it. Now I get to wait a week or two and hope for the phone call!

Thanks to everyone else who has contributed valuable info in the this thread, I know it helped me to some degree to prepare for today's events.

Awesome! I have a few questions for all of you, as I don't seem to be getting answers from other places. Anyway, I interviewed on Dec.18 and was hired (FO). But, I just want to know when I'll start. I know the new vacancy award was issued (12 crj new hire slots) but I know I'm not one of them. When does the next vacancy award come out? If I'm seleceted for training on that one, how long till XJ contacts me? What equipment/base do you guy's believe I'll get? Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Yeah me too. Just started at XJ and just started posting here on APC. I look forward to working with you guys.

I just got the good news call with the job offer, was told to expect an APR class date. I interviewed on Wed this week, I can only imagine I got the quick call back due to my flight time. I am pretty excited about all this, I was told to expect the SAAB which is what I wanted anyway, and that getting MEM would probably be pretty easy.
I look fwd to joining XJ and wish I could start training next week!
