CVG can't shrink much more without ceasing to be a base. Very hard to get into. 88 would be fastest route but they'll only put guys there to keep captains and FOs balanced. I was based there until about a year ago and the writing is on the wall for CVG. They'd close the base if they could afford the training (company said as much at a base visit). All senior holdouts there now. Even they are starting to bail.
For a reference, I'd still be about 3 from the bottom on the 737 there and I've got 2000+ junior to me at the company.
You might get lucky and get CVG, but don't plan on it.

Thanks gents. Anybody experienced with commuting out of KSDF to any of the new higher bases?

If by "Midwestern sort facility" you mean world headquarters with a 3,000,000 sq ft ramp, then yes, you're correct.

As I'm waiting for indoc to start and contemplating life outside the AF, the fam and I are trying to decide where to move. I'll be working part time for the Louisville KY guard, which is only 1.5 hours away from KCVG. I know KCVG is the smallest domicile. Any one know if it is shrinking, growing or staying the same? Are there talks about it going away? What are the chances of a new guy getting to KCVG quickly? I'm guessing the MD would be the fastest route.
I know I'd be junior there for quite a while, but figure being junior and sitting reserve from the comfort of home would beat commuting even if it was to a line? I am more concerned about QO-family-L. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Are there other better options, maybe an easy commute from Louisville to another domicile?

Don't count on any movement into CVG. DL tends to let bases it really wants closed die on the vine to avoid triggering a paid move.

The next classes are 8/3 and 8/17. 8/3 is believed to be only 20 Compass flows and calls appear to have gone out for 8/17 out to folks in the 4/21 interview group. With Endeavor SSP spots included I think that class size is 30-ish.
I believe the September classes are 9/7 and 9/21, but waiting on calls or other intel on those class sizes. Hopefully they start to increase in size again.
