Basically, I want to move on out of the regionals,
and the choice right now is Sun Country or a 2-leg commute somewhere to the east coast.

MDW is pretty Jr at SWA, DEN is less Jr but still it wouldn't take more than a few months to get it. Hotels are covered during training and trips are commutable on 1 end or the other (not both). They'll also take care of getting you to/from Dallas for the interview, and your spouse/significant other is invited down for the first 2 days of new hire training.

But how long is reserve until you can hold a line at say MDW or DEN? That’s the worst thing to have to commute to.

Hired in June last year, got MDW right away. Reserve through Dec, blanks Jan-Mar and a hard line starting in April. So 6 months give or take on reserve. Put your reserve days in TTGA and people will pick them up or trade you for a trip.

I heard Sunny dropped the training bond. Any truth to that?

I interviewed last week and they never said anything about a training contract. Anybody know how long it takes for them to get back to you with the job offer.
