The audio and video were a great brushing up just prior to the interview, but not nearly as good as going to a seminar. Consider it an investment in your future, just like the new suit you will probably never wear again (except twice at Indoc!)

Also, I scheduled my EC follow-up phone prep the night before my interview. That was a very good way of calming my nerves. The lady that I discussed everything with was phenomenal and encouraging.

How much self prep do you need to do before a webinar (TMAAT stories)? Do the videos help prepare you?

Of course -- however I don't think it'd be any worse than NYC717B as a first assignment to be 'stuck with.'

Almost immediate lineholder or guaranteed option for rolling thunder pick-your-flying if on reserve, and on the 717, easy to switch over to any of the other three bases on the next AE.

Plus, LAX would be easy to commute to, and only one airport to worry about for 99% of 717 rotations.

I wouldn't shy away from it if I were in indoc right now.

LAX 717 is far from immediate line holder. It is a great assignment but you are responsible for ONT and SNA during certain months when they fly out of them. Pick your poison I guess.

Yes. Videos helped immensely. Watch them before the webinar.

So is it likely for a new hire to get anything based in ATL to start? If not, how long to hold even reserve in ATL on any of the airframes? ATL is only place with direct flights for me, so not sure if I would be able to make NYC work.
