Seniority goes by date of hire, then age in the class. Bid for base. Pay is monthly guarantee no per diem in Eagan [Minneapolis], MN. Nobody is hand picked for the jet, so don't get into a pi$$ing match during training like a couple geniuses did.

Also, I met someone who recentely started IOE with less than a full week off after his LOFT...so the wait is coming way down.

That depends on how much you want to pay but Staybridge Inn and Homestead is one of the hotels that is used by Mesaba. It is a nice hotel with own refrigerator and a microwave. They serve free breakfast. If you want to pay less, Homestead is your choice. It is closer to the Mesaba HQ. where you will be interviewing.

Another option would be to call Townplace suites in Eagan and ask them if they'll give you the Mesaba rate to an interviewer. Thats where all of the trainees stay and its a great room. I showed up for class a day early and they gave the mesaba rate to me. It was only $52, normally the rooms go for $160+

Staybridge Inn and Homestead has shuttle service too. Once you are hired, NWA and MESABA uses Spectrum shuttle which shuttles you from the airport to the Mesaba HQ free of charge.
