I would have gotten IAH 2 weeks ago if I had bid for it and 35XXX numbers did get it. I think a lot of Bro fos are sitting tight in their current domiciles. For me I'm better off staying in the bro in SLC and working 90 hours rather than commuting to reserve 75 hours no perdiem(unless working) and having to pay for a crash pad, I won't be surprised if we hit the end of the bro fo's soon, the new MOU won't mean jack and newhires will start getting the jet again. If you do end up on the Bro, plan a west coast base, with FAT (Fresno) as a high possibility.
And Newty, at least it's a nice ***, not that I have been looking...well, not too often.
