The majority of the -200 FO's were hired just a year ago. They are not senior enough to hold capt on the Saabs. I bid over half way up on the -200 and I was hired in Nov of last year. Still in the mid 800's on the seniority list. There should be a little movement now on the -200's.

Yeah probably a few if they keep running upgrades on the Saab. I think there are a few guys that are in the 700's seniority wise on the -200. The only thing is that I think quite a few -200 FO's live in MSP and may be waiting for a Saab left seat to open up there instead of commuting. That might take a while.

I believe the 200 is also overstaffed on the FO side. The captains must be too if they are releasing their seat locks.

Yes, the Metropolitan Hotel near the airport is where we stay and I hear they give killer deals if you tell them you're with the airlines.

Regarding reserve, I have tried all three periods and there does not seem to be any predictable usage pattern. As a commuter, P2 has worked best because I can commute in on the work day, and I've always been released or finished an assignment early on the last day.

Be careful..... There is a huge difference between the Detroit Metro and the Metropolitan Hotel..... You'll only make the mistake once.....If you live through it. But, the Metropolitan has been good. Their rate vairies though. Somtimes out the door for 37 and sometimes 42..... depends on whos at the desk. And If Ja BOO BOO is driving the van at night.......You can plan on waiting for any where from 45 to an hour.....Probably the reason most of the Mesaba comuters have bailed from there...... Hope this helps!!!
