In a perfect world the job offer should state what base you are initially being assigned. I shouldn't have to quit a current job only to find this out on day one of orientation.
After the last vacancy bid there was 74 unfilled CA vacancies between ORD and DFW. The company announced a standing vacancy now for both ORD and DFW.
Both DFW and ORD should be offered to DECs in the coming classes until the next vacancy comes out in a few months.
Just because you are awarded ORD in class next month doesn’t mean you won’t get displaced to PHX in May and then DFW in October. I never would have thought DFW would be a junior base, but it’s so large now, it is.
