Truth of the matter is that they told all the interviewees that they could chose to have domicile of choice.
Then they take it away and say "sorry."
Yes, it would be nice if they would honor they're word. Its all very unfortunate. I feel for the recruiters also. Has to seem at least a little embarrassing on there end.
Take the above advice in regards to commuting out of ORD, having 15 days of, living where you want, blah blah blah with a grain of salt.
You will be junior and commuting to reserve. Commuting to sit in a crash pad sucks or reserve anyway sucks.
Working for a regional that is going out of business or is bottom of the industry to be based out of DFW are lousy options also.
Best of luck with your choices. Ha
