How does the training work at AW for an initial hire? I searched and found some stuff from 2007 and 2011, but nothing much newer. Do you still go for a week or so to Appleton and then down to CLT? How long in CLT and what is the breakdown of ground school, SIM, other? What is the Junior base now? How hard/long to get into DCA as a new hire?

sim is mainly in CLT, although I've heard they are using STL, MEM,and YyZ once and a while.
Base wise, Maybe a couple months of RSV. Line in any base in less than six months. DCA mostly likely right off the bat.

Exactly why people should apply. People are leaving with the uncertainty of 2015.
