Saab haters don't do so well around here.
The last vacancy had new hires in every base.
Most likely, though it hasn't been announced yet.
When we were last hiring, low timers were going more towards the jet. The higher time guys were steered toward the Saab, where they would most likely first upgrade to.

But remember your times just get you in the door. your knowledge and personality get you the job! I've seen military guys turned away for lower time CFI guys. Reasons??? I'm guessing attitude and personality.

I always feel that recruiters take a look at your times and gauge it at how long they can expect you to stay with the company. That's one thing that low timers may have an advantage over furloughed mainline guys or other highly qualified or over-qualified applicants. If you're low time and likely to be there for 8 years versus someone else that is out in 4 because their mainline recalled, that gives you an advantage. It gives them a better return on their investment in training you. After all management is trying to get the most for their money...at least they're supposed to.

saabs new hires will likely go to DTW or MEM or any combination of the two
Should only be a few months to hold MSP in the Saab if you are hired in this vacancy, that is, if movement continues
