STL is the largest 145 base. It would be pretty easy to get that out of training I would think. The trips are much better in STL as well. CVG probably has the worst trips of all the bases.

When/how can you bid to different equipment etc etc etc.....I am just curious if anything were to happen to my job here, Republic in PHL seems ideal..... just curious
When they call and tell you the good news that your hired, then you will find out what certificate you'll be under. IF that is NOT the cert you want to be under I would say the following: "if a early class date becomes available on XXX cert, please let me know, and I will take this even on short notice." Then pack a bag, and be ready to answer and 317 area code before voicemail, else your out of luck. I'm 60 numbers lower because of missing that call @$#%@, cause they don't leave a voicemail..
Your seat locked for 2 years, but they cannot keep you from making more money by upgrading. This means that a FO can upgrade before the 2 years is up.
