If you were to get on at Mesaba, right now you will be going to LaGuardia Saab. Who knows how long that would be for as that base will go away with the Delta/US Air slot swap if it happens, but there are several FO's that got forced there that will be looking to go back to one of the other bases. Basically right now if you are happy with Detroit then Pinnacle is the place to go. Otherwise your only other initial option would be New York City. Minneapols, well as it looks now, don't bother thinking about it. You probably have about as good a shot at LaGuardia captain as you do Minneapolis 900 fo.

I'm just finishing Pinnacle IOE at JFK and it seems like I've spent more time at DTW than anyplace else. However, my class was 3/14 and I was told by the guys in the class after ours that most if not all of those guys and the future classes were going to JFK. Can anybody confirm that?

I know we've lost a bunch of sim instructors to FedEx and that's gonna slow down training (and probably hiring) until we get some new instructors hired. We lost some really good ones.

New hires - MSP, MEM, ATL...probably not gonna happen. It's either gonna be DTW or JFK from what I've been told.

I believe there were a few new hires that were awarded the 900.

For those in the class on Monday - I'll see you there.

By the way - I'll have my car there, and I know HQ is right around there somewhere, but is it worth it to drive, and if I do is a parking pass required? I'm just thinking about the 95ºF temp and walking back and forth.

You won't need a car for transportation between hotel and class. A car is very nice to have there though. Good luck!

Are there really any FOs displaced anymore? I was hired post-meger and I can hold and base I want, including ATL.

Definitely no orginal 9E FOs displaced still.

Anyone know what the most Jr 900 FO in ATL is? That's my desired plan B if I ever get displaced.

I dont know the most junior 900 ATL Fo is, but it is going more junior then it used too. It's kinda both senior and very junior at the bottom. Then again after SLI it's hard to say , then again maybe nothing would change with fences etc ? No one knows very much about that . But I know some really really junior cats got ATL on the 900
