Plus a personal thanks for the help from JETJOCK, hope to sometime fly with ya in the BRO.
It just feels like a genuine feeling that the the company as a whole wants you to be there and succeed.
Thus I am happy, even thou everyone thinks I am crazy to want to be based in FAT.. 
The instructors at the training center are top-notch. J.G. is a great teacher, so are the Cades for the most part.
And as much crap as you'll hear people talk about FAT, don't pay attention to it. I've come to the conclusion that FAT-EMB is the best place to be based for new-hire pilots in the company unless you feel like sitting reserve in another domicile. It pays the same as the jet, you're going to be flying the LAX, SFO, and PDX systems (west coast flying is great), and they're one of the only bases that I've heard of that are actually adding flying (albeit not much). I'm glad I'm there.
