Regarding business casual for training, I understand the suit and tie first day but after that is it button up shirts, button up shirts with ties, or just polo shirts. What seems to be the norm during training? And does anyone wear jeans or is it strictly khakis. Thanks in advance.

In Eagan, there are a plethora of places to shop. Many places are within walking distance. We were at the Townplace Suites (Marriott) and there is a Walmart and a grocery store nearby. You could probably convince the shuttle to "make a grocery run" and come pick you up when you're done. We did that in Denver a couple times.

7 year FOs have the seniority now to upgrade in the CRJ. In fact the most junior DTW CRJ900 CA upgrade alternate is a May 2007 hire.

Actually, a few of them are long time FO's that could have upgraded a while ago but are holding out because they are commuters. I suppose they will eventually take the saab upgrade, due to the better schedules. I was hired in 05 and furloughed, I just recently passed the 1500 hr mark and the first upgrade in DTW I could hold was the 900.

We are guaranteed 36 -900s all of which will be delivered by the end of 2008 and I know there are options for more, not quite sure on the #s for the options.
