I highly recommend it. Are you at Eagle now?

As far as Western bases sounds like there will be another with all the hinting from management. Most likely SEA.

I am currently. Ever since I jump seated (actually got first class) a little over a year ago compass peaked my interest. It was hands down the best experience as a passenger I've ever had on a regional...(maybe it was just that particular crew, idk) And then they announced the LAX base! So I've had my app in for a while but haven't been called or able to attend a job fair.

There's one on July 25th in DFW, it's an aero crew solutions job fair. I'll prob go hit it up and see what they say.

I got called recently and I do not have a bachelors. Keep trying, I hope you get the call!

Canadian High School is probably equivalent to 90% of US college degrees anyway.

I've read some guys think DTW might close in the future. Have there been any hints of this? And also...how long might it take for someone to hold a line in DTW or MSP?

I think it is a very good possibility that DTW will close. Our COO said recently that the only thing keeping it open is the flights to SDF for Maint. Find another base to feed it plus provide more flexibility operationally and it will close. Most feel it will, especially since it's down to 35 crews. Line is hard to determine with all the movement. I think most jr line holders are October new hires roughly.
