People who keep asking about IAH...no one knows. The base doesn’t even open until July 1.
Do new hires even get a say in where they're based initially or are people just placed where the company has slots that particular month?
Do new hires bid every month on property (since indoc) or is the "initial drop" really the first bid out of training / IOE? Reason I ask this is that it would give me some heads-up on whether a crash pad would be required. Fortunately I have a family owned property not far from EWR that would make LGA possible, at least until I could bid out.
