You go to Mesaba you will be on a turboprop. Pinnacle you will be on a jet. Same contract. If a jet is important go to the PCL side. I would go to whoever will give you the 1st class date.

Thanks for the input. Part of me asking this question however is to figure out the QOL question. I would really ultimately like a MSP base to be close to family but I am just not sure what the chances of that are between the companies. I suppose if they are all one in a couple of years it won't really matter, but in the short term does anyone have any insight into how likely a MSP base is early on? And don't get me wrong, I'll take what I can get and be grateful...if I have to commute for a while, I commute.

if your not in MSP already you shouldn't count on it for a very long time.

Things can change quickly but MSP is very senior and as the Saabs retire for Delta all those pilots will transition to the CRJ so unless something changes I wouldn't count on it.

Bingo. I hope to get back to MEM, but MSP would be a pipe dream for those on the outside looking in. That's the XJ home base. Thankfully 9E has a spread between MEM and MSP as the "live-in" bases.

people talk about quickest time to upgrade like that is the only thing that matters. that is so untrue. maybe getting a quality education with some of the the guys that have something good to offer would be a better thought. I am sure there are plenty of those people in each place. So dont worry about upgrades(they will come). getting into the turboprops is a pretty good idea for the fact that will more than likely be the aircraft you upgrade in. there is plenty of first year know-it-alls out there so be careful who you listen to!!
