In either case such a candidate would not make a desirable employee.

You will find out the first day of class what the base/equipment choices are. When you do will you please post them here?
As for reserve time, it's all over the place and dependent on base and equipment. It's hard getting an accurate answer on this from anyone. I know LAX very senior. Just bid the equipment you want and chances are you can get into the base you want pretty quick (except LAX). But make sure you do your homework on what bases have what equipment because you will be seatlocked in the ATR for 1 year and until upgrade in the jets (unless company deems your needed elsewhere).
Age of people has been from 21 to mid 50's. I think last class there was someone 39 or 41 and he was #5. It was also a smaller class than in recent months (I think there were 22).
I'll be in the class following you on 5/23. Good luck!
