It'll still be awhile to get MSP, I was in the Sept. 10th class and as of the award that came out today I'm still in DTW and that would be for a move date of April 1st.

week 1 - indoctrination, week 2 - "general subjects", week 3 and 4 systems, week 5, systems integration and oral exam. For my Saab class, it appears there will be a minimum 6 days between completion of the oral and start of the sim, but I understand it can be more for the C900. Our sim schedule has been promised several times and keeps getting delayed, so we do not know when we will receive it, when our sim block will start, where our sim training will be (MSP or St Louis for the SF340), and with which street/upgrade captain we will be paired.

Also, I think it was you that asked about age;
It is just a guess, becasue I know for a fact there is one younger than me, and for someone else to be younger than me, they need to be pretty young too like this other guy is. Who knows though, will find out in class I guess!

Can't see the list yet but it goes by age in the class. A lot of the new hires are coming from Western Michigan so the majority of them want DTW, the people from my class that were from minnie and got based in DTW are now based in MSP only a month into line flying. Actually one of them didn't even finish IOE and they gave him MSP. So from here on out you will probably be based in DTW but before you really start flying you should be able to be in MSP.

No, you are in Eagan till after systems is finished. Your first week will be indoc, then we will join you the next week for CRM and general subjects. After that will be systems, then we go to denver or montreal.

An email I got from a friend in an October class CRJ-900 reads this after asking him about senority in the 14th class:
