I’ve been offered an early February orientation date. I’m on the fence about all of this puzzle. Can someone with some insight about future direct entry captains answer a couple questions? I would like to know how many they are proposing on hiring so I can have some idea of whether i’ll be the last guy, so to speak. Do you know how many classes they run per month or per week and how many people are generally in a class? How many direct entry pilots were in the January classes? Lastly, what is the probability of getting ORD as a base?

It's funny, Envoy talks about quality of life, but there is a huge difference between being based in MIA vs DFW vs ORD, seems they would want to try & give you your preference of bases.....

I get that i'll probably be on reserve at the airport for a long time, but i'd rather be in a base where I know people.
