Most, if not all are going to KBIL. However, that won't last long. New system wide bid to come out soon. While Florida is senior, a lot of attrition is going on has we have a lot going to the majors, and just not the state side ones. If you want a particular base, you'll have to bid for it. I'm low time and we have a guy and gal in class with 250tt.

Has far as interviews of pilots, I really don't hang out at HQ but it's been light. I do know we are running both a F.A. and pilot class come January( 2 at a time) and each month thereafter.
Yes, you must have a different attitude (a good one) if you want to make it here. The old do it or else-the bad a$$ Captain, the macho crap- it's gone - So , yes they are trying to change it for the better.

One more thing, Flight Ops pay is monthly so make sure you have provisioned yourself accordingly. Of course hotel room and breakfast is free s/o and they put us across the street from a outdoor shopping mall which has everything cept a Publix, (my new favorite grocery store) but there is one across the street from the training center. Man there deli is good!

Again, congrats to those that got on, bring your game face and mind, because you WILL NEED IT.

Has far as interview to offer I can't say, but upon completion of the sim you should have a pretty good idea if you were selected or not. Some were not, like those who couldn't hold altitude, heading, brief the approach, couldn't hold or get into one, just because you show up for the interview please do not think the job is yours. remember the interview is part of an overall assement of your skills. Come ready for the interview, test and sim. There are gouges out there.

If selected please do not waste anyones's time by doing a drug test and you know you are going to **** positive. Once in ground school I can't emphasis enough- YOU MUST STUDY!!! DO NOT TAKE THE INDOC GEN SYS TEST KNOWLEDGE TEST LIGHTLY. I can't emphasis this enough.

Well the first half of our group has already left for the sims in Orlando, rest of us are getting ready to go. 2 weeks and were done. Man, the pressure is on!
Hope you all do well and see you on the line.
Take Care.
