No, I think I was at the ASA interview with you though. We were the only two that made it through.

Oh hey, good times! I got stuck in ATL for like two days after we were done because of that storm that hit. Have you given your 2 weeks notice yet?

We don't have trip/duty rig but we do have 'block or better' and trip guarantee, as well as some other good work rules. Not the best in the industry but certainly not the worst.

Mesaba also has a 4 hour min day. That's as close to a duty rig as we get. I don't know how the jet schedules are, but on the Saab, if your duty day is 12-14 hours, you're probably scheduled for 6-8 hours of block anyway.

At least you get to fly a tprop past 12/2008 at Mesaba... At ASA, we all have to fly the jet once they retire the ATR's in 12/2008.

Are all the ATR drivers going to the 700 or 200? Is it split?

I haven't yet. I am going snowmobiling in Yellowstone for a week the first week of Feb, so I told them I couldn't start until after that. Have they offered you a date yet? I am hoping they have a class starting Feb. 11th. You made up your mind about ASA or Mesaba yet?
