Only openings on the 175 in Chicago is with people leaving for other bases, which has kind of stopped at the moment, you would have a b better chance on the CRJ as well as better movement.

The FedEx discount isn't really a discount. It lets you upgrade to 2 day air shipping for free. Stuff gets there quicker but it still costs the same amount of money as if you didn't have the discount.

I sent a box overseas for $30ish and it would have been over $100. 2 day. It was a steep discount.

When I've sent a few things, it's always a discount on air shipments, not ground. But sometimes, shipping it via ground is still cheaper than the 75% off second day air. And it's not through Delta. It's our own Skywest discount. Just bring in your badge to show.

There is no shippin discount with Delta. I called DL Cargo and was told that in order to ship anything through them you must be a "known shipper." I was told that only business can create accounts and become known shippers.... I have used fedex numerous times. It is only a discount on 2nd day air. Sometimes this was cheaper, sometimes ground is cheaper, just depends on what you're shipping and where.

yep yep well im committed to ERJ at this point and have a class date but was just looking at what the bases were looking like. I know allot of people have transitioned to that jet so was looking for an update. I guess MSP is the other option on this one for the ERJ.. ? Correct me if Im wrong. I mean they have to put me somewhere... dont they?
