Timeline
Looking for someone to share some recent experiences please. My apps to the majors are in but who knows how long it will take to get through their process. So I'm looking at applying to ExpressJet after my terminal leave is done - sometime in May. It looks like ExpressJet has hubs in Hou, ATL, and DFW which my family is willing to relocate to any of these markets. My question is - what's the timeline I can expect? From application, to interview, to finding out your hub? I'm prepared to sit reserve for a while, so I'm wondering how likely it will be that I can get to one of these hubs so we can move the family which would make my QOL better. Down the road - if/when the majors call I'm hoping it's one with hubs in those cities as well. Thanks in advance.

Base awards usually come out during maneuvers training. Once awarded you can submit a base trade request. Prior till Monday’s announcement IAH was slated to be the largest 145 base.

How big was IAH CA now in the latest bid? Still mid 200’s? I bet DEN doesn’t go as senior as it was previously since all those guys are at UAL now. I could see some new hires getting that when it opens... like late summer?

Last email from SK was end of year for DEN. I bet XJT doesn’t open DEN until TSA leaves.
