I think the way it works (at least it was last year) is that all new hires are initially based in HSV. Probably the IOE works well for the company out of there...lots of hours in a short time. Of course, that may have changed during the past year. For us, when the class behind us came on line we were able to move on to whatever base we had bid and could hold. While in HSV and on IOE the training department will control your schedule. Once that's complete you will bid the trips available out of HSV until you move on to your chosen base. Out of HSV you'll see primarily HSV-LUX and Central/South America.
