Default Pinnacle Junior FO Bases?

I'm looking for info on 9E MEM basing:

How long would it take to hold MEM as an FO?

How long would it take to hold MEM as a CA?

Is it even possible to commute DTW or MSP -> MEM??? (either with the company or redeye FDX j/seats, etc.???)

Thanks for any info....

Holding FO in mem will not take more than a month or 2
CA will take a long time
Commuting hub to hub on nwa can be challenging

I thought I'd heard that using FedEx can help with the commute to/from MEM. True?

(And I don't know cramming yourself into a FedEx Express Box and slapping a waybill on yourself)

yes fedex can help in the commute. you have to remember though that fedex's world headquarters is in memphis. so lots of their pilots use their own planes to commute into their hub. they can also list on a flight way before offline people can. so if its a popular route it can be tough. the good thing is once you get a seat its yours.

So I'm assuming for CA it goes (in descending order of seniority): MEM, MSP, DTW?

Yup...right now anyway. DTW and MSP are equally needing ca's though I believe as we have many slots that go unfilled due to qualified canidates/peo. who wish not to be extended and junior manned like crazy
