one more thing, all those numbers from the 10/24 class, are they mostly by choice of the people in class or just based on age wise seniority?
thanks for the input.
They change so much from class to class. You will find some classes have a lot of DFW, then no DFW. For instance, I wanted ORD and there was not a single ORD slot in my class. Yet before and after, there were about 5-10 a class. I got stuck with DFW. Also a lot of people in my class wanted MIA and there were none either. Yet the class after ours, MIA was the last thing to go (save ATR SJU)
Word of caution, don't believe people when they say "Oh you'll get that before you finish training." I was told that a lot by people at eagle (pilots) and still DFW. Not being sarcastic, just letting you know ahead of time.
