Starting mid-Oct will have them finish mid to late Dec…and then they’ll be in the queue for IOE which shouldn’t take long since we haven’t really hired and CKA aren’t loaded down with training. They could be in the Jan bid or the company could let them do Jan in their closest base with “leftover trips in OT” or they’ll bid a hard line to get them consolidated (close to 100 hrs) before they’re thrown to reserve in whatever base they can hold.

When I started, we didn’t get a bonus month close to home…our hard line was in the base we could hold for that vacancy bid (everyone got OAK).
