Upgrade is 4.5-5 years and I don't see it dropping anytime soon. The most recent class finishes in Aug/Sept, so best case maybe another class of 10 or 12 to close out the year IMO.

Ok. They said they would interview me on the 22nd or 23rd and still be able to give me a July hire date. So, it sounds like things would happen pretty quick...towards the beginning anyway. If I decided to go ahead with it, I would still need to give my current job 2 weeks. So, I will email them back and see what happens.

Do you have an unrestricted ATP? If so, you can start with the next available slot.

Is ORF still junior? I could easily commute to any of the other three bases so I'm curious how long it would take to hold DCA, PHL, or LGA. Thanks!

Day4mx: Are you saying that a new hire can get DCA (and the other two) right out of training?

Yes. But I'm not sure which one would get a line the fastest.

Latest vacancy had mostly DCA spots I noticed. I'd say about 3-4 for lga Orf, 5-6 for DCA or philly

If the last few classes are any indication, you will get whichever domicile you want out of training. ORF is fastest to a line (I had 2 weeks of reserve and just bid on my second line month). The guys in my class that went to PHL and DCA are still on reserve.
