Couple of questions I didn't see answers to when searching:



How long is training?



What's the training footprint like? Indoc, groundschool, sims etc...



Is anyone awarded anything other than OAK, LAS or PHX in new hire class? I understand it might take 3-6 months to get back to BWI which is close to home.

Training is around 7 weeks long with 2 weeks of indoc, 2 weeks of ground school, and 3 weeks of sims. All times are approximate. First month after training you can be awarded any base based on age in class. After that, most likely your first month will be one of the 3 west bases. Anyone's guess really how long to get to BWI, could be a couple of months or could be a year. My guess would be between 3-6 months.
