Also, I was able to glance at the A300 July bidpack, and noticed lots of trips with DDH's and long IND layovers. Does anyone know how senior these trips go? I'm not starting class for another couple months, but I am trying to figure out what would provide the best QOL (time home), and a rough ball park expectation on how long it will take to get there. Months, years, decades? The A300 IND layovers look pretty enticing as I could drive home and spend the day with fam, sleep in my own bed, then drive back to IND. Any other airframes have schedules like this? I know the likelihood on an Airbus out of training is slim for me (SSN starts with 0).

I appreciate the help and can't wait to get started!
Welcome. IF given the choice don't pick an airframe based off of a potential layover city, they change very often.
IND-MEM is actually fairly difficult. You got two things, lots of commuters but also lots of backend DH trips end in IND and the people that live in MEM take the JS vs. the two-leg RJ through a hub. There's certainly worse commutes...
