Training is 8-10 weeks depending on scheduling sims, holidays, etc. At the completion of your checkride/sim eval, you will get a company ID and then you can jumpseat. The last new hires went to any base they wanted, but Atlanta. It will probably be a couple of years before that base opens up again.
As a side note, unless you know someone, minimums probably won't get you a phone call unless more majors/nationals start hiring.
Good luck and remember, it's just a job.
man being stuck in that hotel for 8 weeks without being able to jumpseat home atleast once is murder... oh well.
Most airlines that I can recall get you a company ID on day 2 of training.
