Thank you, finally someone who wants to fly the Saabster. Everyone always wants to go straight into the jet. The saab is a great plane to fly, lots of fun doing those visual approaches.

Actually, I've been told they are indeed looking for a couple more spots for the 22nd class. They're interviewing 2 extra days this week. Sounds like they're being really picky for who gets the job, hence the need for a few more folks for the 22nd. I heard this last weeks interviews were not good.

You do work your butt off...7,8,9 legs a day. Real NDB approaches were cool. Lots of holding. Cities were pretty interesting too.
The jet (CRJ) vs. tp (SAAB) is really a moot argument. Now if we were talking about the Avro - we could have an argument.
Honestly any plane is good, just different. Being old and grumpy I like smooth air, looking down at the weather, and hot wings.
On a different note, if you get the SAAB - the best trips are out of DTW. MEM is OK but too much sitting between turns. MSP sucks with two leg highspeeds and very short times between turns.
I live in MSP and was displaced to DTW for SAAB FO in '06. I hated the commute but the trips we nice.

I'm with you 100% on that, and the biggest thing I've ever flown is a Chieftain. Interview on the 18th so we'll see...
