I was informed that a few peeps from the first SAAB class have already been able to move on up to MSP, and in the first week I've been here a handful from the third SAAB class have already gotten DTW. It seems to be moving quick as of this instant.

If you have the choice, pick the most junior base that makes sense for you. If MEM is a possiblity, go for it. BTW, its not "just gross". Yes, it's in the lower half of the states, but seriously... deal.

MSP is VERY senior at XJ. Your QOL will be much better at one of the other two bases.

How would MEM be communting from DFW or Alliance Ft. Worth on FedEx? I was told to expect a late July class date with XJ and would like to live in Ft. Worth.... would it work out?

DFW would work just fine. Commuting on FedEx is excellent! Plus NWA has two or three direct flights a day to Cover Your A** on the commuter clause. Welcome aboard.

Thanks for the welcome and for the reply... How does the commuter clause read? If I did get MEM out of training should I shack up there while I'm on reserve and the once I get a line try the commuting thing? I guess the same question goes for MSP if I get assigned the jet... any advice would be great! (I know how hard it is to get out of DFW sometimes, I've been a CSA for over a year with NWA and 9E and have had to buy a Sun Country Non-rev pass just to get to MSP)

Got a call a couple weeks ago for a position. Me and the wife are moving over to DTW for her job and the possibility of me getting DTW at mesaba. Would there be much of a problem commuting from detroit to either memphis or minnie if i didnt get detroit initially and just held out for it there? Also on average how many days on flying away from home do you typically see in that situation?

You'll see DTW before MSP.....I was awarded DTW my first week of class. If you don't get it right away you shouldn't have to wait too long as things around here are moving fast.
