The CRJ sim can be converted to a CR9 sim later at a cost much less than buying a new CR9 sim. We have one CR9 sim being built now, not expected to be in Eagan until late 2008.

According to the training department, the only reason we have the 200 sim is because we picked it up cheap. The only reason we don't have a 900 sim is because the 900 is a new type, and there is a wait for the sims to be built.

Now I'm not saying this is the whole truth, but its what mgmt told me.

For anyone in training or based out of DTW. I'm looking for a new room mate in Ann Arbor. It's a quick drive to the airport and it's a great town all in all. If anyone knows any good ways to advertise, I'm gonna throw stuff up around the crew room or if anyone knows someone looking or has any ideas.

Please do not confuse Mesaba pilot / simulator instructors with management.

The following is a quote from a CAE newsletter:

"CAE has recently expanded its training network by installing a convertible CRJ 200/700/900 simulator and an ERJ 145 simulator in Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. The new training facility will be operated as a satellite of the Denver aviation training center . . . "

I was only reporting what I heard straight from the lips of XJ's DFO. Last time I checked, that was a mgmt position.

I wouldn't be surprised if they bought the sim so rumors would fly, remember the secret hangar full of jets..........

As long as its taking them to get people through training and IOE I'd almost suggest keeping whatever job you have now. If I would have known from the get-go that I would be sitting around, waiting as much as I have, I would never have quit my job(s) I had prior to coming here. But you know what they say about hindsight...

Delivering pizzas worked for me. $12-$15/hr for about 4-5 hrs per night.
