2. They randomly give you an assignment based on need, so there is not a way to really get it. They may offer a couple classes on the phone, and you can ask them, but most likely not. The current Shuttle class is tiny, and the CHQ side isn't hiring much. There is a small class going through now. He could always get LGA with CHQ.

3. From my understanding, you can turn down a total of 3 offers. After that, they'll remove you from the list.

4. He will not get the Q if he's hired in the next couple of months. The 170 side is growing way too fast, and the Q is "properly staffed." By that, they have way too many captains upgraded in it, and they're pairing captain with captain to get the routes done for now. Most people don't want the Q simply because of maintenance (and, therefore, cancellation).
That has got to be expensive! I can't imagine they could staff the Q any other way---at least based on what people are saying on the forums about refusing the Q.

I hear lots of "we can't recruit" stories, but it doesn't seem that way at RAH. Are interviews still chock full of hopefuls?
