Take it from someone who's been there. When I was hired almost 8 years in 2007, being the oldest in my class, therefore having "seniority" in my class, I was "almost" assured I would get Indy as home base as it was a fairly easy drive for me to make once a week. (I live two hours to the north). When all was said and done, three days before training was complete, I resigned because among other things, I learned I was to be based in Buffalo. Try commuting from Buffalo to Chicago in a reasonable amount of time. Long upgrade times (they told us when hired upgrades were averaging 12-14 months). Okay, I know I'm going to get some flak, but, I know I made the right decision. I did not continue on in 121. So be it.
