Thanks,

Some schools get ruduced hiring minima and priority over others...maybe Purdue does...I knew a guy who now works for Emirates that toured aviation campuses and tried to see how there training stacked up against Mesaba's and would make agreements if Mesaba liked them enough

Got it. I just thought that maybe you guys would be done with all your hiring before the time we graduate in May.

hey fellas,

Got the Nov 3 date in the 900 have a few questions if you guys don't mind.
1. I forgot what they said in the interview MEM goes junior regardless of ship right?
2. You guys bring a car to training or not I have a buddy who said he did and said it worked out pretty good but I wasn't sure if I could get away with out spending the gas for a 12 hour drive.
3. I heard from another buddy in training that the 900 sim got certified in MSP yesterday are they going to do initial training there or are they going to ship us out?

Appreciate the help

If you get to stay at 'Staybridge' in Eagan, they will give you a 'free' YMCA pass and the YMCA in Eagan has pretty decent equipment...and many of 'our' hot Minnesota chicks who work (and workout) at that YMCA.

However, you would need your own transportation.

Good Luck in training!

1.MEM or DTW would be my guess with less choice going to the youngest (junior guy) in the class.

2. Bring a car if you get the homestead otherwise the rest Hotels have a fair amount of stuff close to within a mile. The homestead is out in the middle of nowhere with a SAM's club nearby thats it unless you count the post office. If you like to get out or check out the area then you should probably bring a car but like you said that costs money.

3. Haven't heard.

Probably like someone else said they don't have enough Saab CA going into the holidays and are probably putting it off till Jan when the schedules pull down. It sounds like they are already short Saab CA but at the same time they are starting to kick out of upgrade now too. I am guessing Jan will be a large class of 900 CA but could be wrong. You notice though the new hires stayed the same so they are keeping them coming in. Wouldn't surprise me as well the next 900 class has more FO's and the Jan class (after the Holidays) they make room for more 900 CA coming down the pipe.
