The short version:
1. Class date will be assigned about 2 weeks before class. You'll get a phone call and find out aircraft type/company then.
2. Any aircraft is fair game - no reason as to why some people get one airframe and others don't. If you don't have ATP mins. then you won't get the 170.
3. Domiciles are as needed. My class got spread across the system pretty evenly. I would say CMH or CVG would be a safe bet for CHQ (not LGA or MCO), as far as Shuttle America or Republic are concerned, I don't know.
4. Reserve is...well, it's reserve so it's never great. Some guys don't have to do it, others do. The smaller the base you get, the more likely you are to sit reserve. If you're reserve in a large base, you will probably break guarantee every month. Small base...not so much. You can always switch to another base as long as your seniority number can hold it and there's an opening.
