Hello all,

I have a class date coming up with SWA (one of the lucky ones whos class didn't get cancelled). I work for a regional and live in a senior SWA Base. It was my understanding from the new hire info sessions that it would be possible to get any base within 6 months of completing training. But that was before they ended hiring for 2024.

Here is my concern: From where I live it will be an extremely long and difficult commute to OAK. It would cause significant difficulties for me and my family if I had to commute there for a long time. It is my understanding that this is a very junior base and likely to be assigned to new hires. I am assuming that it is likely for me to be assigned OAK and with no new hires coming behind me, stuck at this base for a very long time. Is this a valid concern?

Thanks.
