Pretty good, but a Colgan guy may know better.

On the "Q" slim to none because there are a lot of guys in EWR with standing bids for IAH. Your chances of getting IAH on the Saab is 50/50 with BOS and IAD, rounding up the bottom 50%

What are the chances of getting JFK with pinnacle out of the July 5th class. From what I can find that is a junior base.

Has there been in the last month or so or will there be in the near future a Q400 class?

Anyone hear anything?

Should be easy to hold JFK out of training. Only two options are JFK and DTW, but either one is good I am sure as of now

Ok, well then if I am condemned to fly years in the right seat then what about Atlanta as an FO? What would the crystal ball yield in terms of time to get that domicile? I have already resigned myself to either Detroit or NY for a while.

Let me know what the skinny is regarding a trip to Minneapolis. A guy in a class before you said that they sent them up north for systems after a couple of weeks there in Memphis. I am trying to decide whether to drive or not. If I am just going to be in MEM for 2 weeks before headed north for systems it doesn't seem worth it to me. You should know soon if you don't already. Thanks!

Two Weeks in MEM, Two weeks in MSP for systems then back to MEM for CBTs/oral. Sims in either MEM or STL. But Most likely MEM, two pairs from our class have to go to STL. But in MEM if you are staying at the Courtyard you may want to drive unless you REALLY like Subway.

In my opinion take your car !!!!!! Memphis is a poop hole in general and
Not having your car makes it worse, I brought a car with me and it helped a lot . ESP to my buddies that didn't have one. I ran to walmart every sixteen minutes !!!

Seriously of your going to be there for more then 12 hours I would bring a car . Don't wait on the hotel vans
