Also how do you pick aircraft and base assignment at training? Is it just like a list your top three (aircraft/base)? Or what?

They write all the openings on the board.
Ex: 12 175 DFW, 6 E145 ORD, 18 E145 LGA, 6 CRJ ORD
Then as people from the top pick their base/equipment they mark the slots down. You get the pick of what's left when you're called. In my class the 175 was the first 6 slots taken and that was a month and a half ago. I'd say youngest 175 was right around 40. Last two classss got a handful of 175s and the rest for LGA. I think they wanted 75 FOs and they're probably right around that so with such a large class coming in on the 19th it's really anyone's guess what they'll offer.
