Right now junior base is DFW and there is a standing vacancy for DCL so in theory they would be able to hold it in the first week of indoc. All about timing though because just a few months ago MIA was the junior base.

You’ll get DFW within 3-6 months if not right away, and you will be on reserve at most a few months.
All 3 bases are very attainable for FOs, DFW is junior captain base.

The training department at Mesa is in disarray. I have no idea when I’ll be able to upgrade (I have the hours by a lot) because of the emphasis on FO’s right now. Besides that, the failure rate for upgrades is very much higher than it should be because of the training department. And Mesa doesn’t have the years of 121 experience credit that Envoy does. I’d be starting at Envoy as an 8 year DEC vs a 4 or 5 year CA at Mesa. Plus the bonuses at Envoy. The money at Envoy would definitely be more.
I flew with a new Mesa CA the other day, it took him 6 months to upgrade. That’s ridiculous. At least the FO min pay would be livable now, but not when he went through it.

As each fo upgrades hired prior to you then you’ll be pushed down. Recruiter told me expect 3.5 + years of reserve as DEC.

How quickly are prior 121 folks getting responses after applying? I've got 2700 121 TT but I got out of the game before the addition of ATP-CTP to the FARs so I don't have my ATP. Back in the stone ages you only needed your commercial multi to be an FO and you got your ATP as part of CA upgrade. I'm assuming that would knock me out of getting to bypass the interview.
