Might be signed in 2-3 months from now ( if at all ) but may not be implemented for a year or so because how long stuff like that's takes. Some people with 2.5k hours get called and some don't, some people with 6.5k get called and some don't so it's hard to put a number on qualification to get a call. Remember that DFW is eventually going to be very senior considering all the XJT/ASA people we get. IAH isn't a base and as was said already we don't have PBS, not sure where you're getting your info from but you don't seem to have done your homework. How hard is travel? Well if you jumpseat it's easy but if you want a wife/husband or other family it's not so easy. We do have SWA so that makes things better but it won't be as good as most places.
