I'd love to hear more details about the program with respect to how long you're guaranteed a slot in a particular base. Obviously there must be a mechanism to adjust for manpower overages/shortages. Anyone?
Well, HSLD I just went through the interview last week. I got hired I start hopefully on the 19th. Just waiting for the past companies to come through with prior employment info. It seems pretty straight forward with the base assignment. We were all asked where we wanted to go and that was it. Though there seems to be a method to it. For example of those hired, there was only myself from the NE. 2 from the dfw area, 1 miami, and 2 from SJU. So I guess that seems to be how they get people where they want them. So that just my observation from the whole thing. On side note, the AMR flight academy and DFW airport ops in general was quite impressive. It was my first time there.
