Yes equipment is assigned before class. For the 9/24 class all 15 200's go to MSP and 15 Saabs go to DTW and MEM. I think the actual breakdown may be coming out today so stay tuned. Some of the current guys update us regularly with class & equipment info on here.

Sept 24 Class Breakdown
15 MSP CRJ FO
3 DTW SF3 FO
10 MEM SF3 FO
Most junior MSP SF3 FO was hired in Jun 2007. Move date is Dec 1...so, it is taking about 5-6 months to hold MSP on the Saab.

The most junior DTW SF3 FO was hired into MEM in August. Move date is Dec 1, so about 2 months wait (if that) to get DTW from MEM.

Any thoughts on which base (DTW or MEM) is better to hold a reserve line at, and how long reserve is lasting?

I would expect 2-3 months of "reserve", not because you can't hold a line, but due to the number of IOE trips and green lines that prevent you from holding one. Build-up lines are a good choice if you are on reserve, since they are running about 50-100% trips. You will fly on reserve though, so there won't be a lot of sitting around.

9/10 class numbers seem to be correct.
9/24 SF34 class looks like:[if I count correctly]
10 MEM SF3 FO
3 DTW SF3 FO
Move date Dec. 1.
I was told with the offer, seems like most if not everyone has been told before class.
In the September bid MEM SF3 FO there were:
10 regular lines
14 green lines
4 reserve lines
4 build-up/reserve lines
I was awarded reserve, and all the green lines may keep me there for a bit, who knows. Haven't looked at DTW or talked to anyone who had class before me.
