Yea I heard that shortly after, but I still wouldn't put it past them.

I was wondering when you were going to surface again around these parts. It's about time to head back to the Keys isn't it? The temperature is dropping in Detroit that;s for sure!

Every based is different but for MEM Saab, been on reserve since June and will probably continue till Dec. But it should get better when the Saab new hires come on line for the new year!

4 Months in DTW CRJ900 F/O, things are moving so im guessing by another 6 months I should have either a better reserve line or a actual line. Ready Reserving 10 days a month currently!!

Wow 10 Ready Reserves a month? Is that common for the Junior FOs?

I am also curious to what was said earlier. Someone said that Mesaba assigns you an aircraft type prior to class. Isn't this something that should be bid on in Class seniority?

No, class seniority has never been a factor on aircraft assignment. That is done by luck of the draw on what they are currently hiring for. There may have been an exception or two here or there.
