Dutch,

Their "base" is Seattle, but they don't actually fly from there. As it was explained to me, they would fly you (in your case) from DEN to where ever your trip was starting to meet the jet, so JFK, ORD, ANC, Inchon, etc. etc. and the reverse when you ended. In my case, I live just outside LA so they had said most of my trips would start/stop with a jet @ LAX. Not a bad deal. Their schedule guys sounded S.H. - no reserve, and good about giving you good "off" blocks and minimizing your commute, which makes sense with the $ they are going to spend getting you to a jet.

Pay in training is $2000/mo; they don't cover lodging for indoc @ SEA (two weeks), but they do cover lodging during ground school and sims in Minneapolis. Pay (S/O or F/O) is $67.50/hr from the start of IOE onwards. 60hr guarantee with a target of 80hrs. The impression I got was not flying enough was not going to be an issue.

HTH
