I live in Kenosha
Clearly, there are a lot of bitter folks out there. Chips on their shoulder's after going through the AWAC East Coast US Airways drops and migration to the new United Contract/Domiciles.
I live in Kenosha, 45 min drive to MKE or ORD. Perfect not just for AWAC, but many airlines ops.
CAE may be inevitable out of training (or maybe not), but at the rate things are moving, you could be there 30 days before getting MKE or ORD. Not "stuck in CAE indefinitely" as Mr. doom and gloom makes it sound.

I myself am getting displaced out of Ord, and sure it bites big. I also see movement and lots of new hires so this is a temporary pita while Cae opens and things stabilize. Back in the day I got stuck in Orf for several months and that was no fun either. If you live in Cae or Mke/Ord area you shouldn't be that worried.

I feel like there’s a lot of growth potential at AWA, just get through the first few rough months in a base you don’t want first.

At this point Air Wisconsin is probably the best fit for ambitious pilots who are at a flexible enough point in their lives to move within driving distance of CAE or MKE and work their tails off for a couple years and move on.
If I were a young 20-something pilot I'd be all over CAE. It's a fun college town and the seniority progression and moneymaking potential are fantastic. And being one of the few pilots who lives in a base is a huge asset because you don't care about commutability when bidding so you tend to get weekends and holidays off faster. If you're willing to move for a few years it could really be a sweet deal.

It's going to be at least a year at present before you will be able to hold a reserve spot in IAD. Even ORD is taking longer, looking like 8-9 months before holding reserve there. For some reason they are putting a ton of reserve FOs in MKE and pooling them there.

What is the minimum time allowed for a vacancy to have been published before the window closes? The 14th at midnight only gives 6 days, including today, if they published it right now. I thought they needed at least 7?
Sometimes you will see a random vacancy bid closure on FLICA that means nothing.
