Any updates on this? And what are the chances of DTW for a new hire?

It will be nonstop hiring for the foreseeable future. The only reason they have slowed down is because they are trying to do 3 different class types at once in our building. We have Pinnacle upgrades, Pinnacle New Hires, and Colgan New Hires. Quite simply put they are out of room. As a new hire it looks like you could hold any base you want except for the 900 base in atlanta.

an update for you guys. the first ots class was just sent home for 2-3 weeks (could change) they are very backed up in the sims so classes are finishing their ground and waiting to start their CPT and SIM sessions.

I think the last 3 classes have been sent home at one time or another. Good news is they are hiring a lot, downside is that they don't have the manpower to run the training center since they can't afford to pull any guys offline to instruct in the sims.

everyone in my class got their choice of base except for MSP and ATL

Pretty much what he said, I finished ground school yesterday and was sent home today for apprx 2 to 3 weeks. , like they said above, they are so tight in that building and lack of instructors that it is causing a huge bottle neck in the sim portion of training, so everyone is getting delayed a bit.

I will say I was done with that hotel though, nice to take a break for a bit and get away from MEM. Airport area is BOOTY getto!!!

I was at the CEC the other day and that place is a mess. They have all kinds of trainning going on. New hire, upgrades, and FA new hire, both for Pinnacle and Colgan. People who are suppose to start upgrade with Pinnacle is delay with their class date.

This should give you guys a good idea of what you are steppng into. This place can not plan ahead. All these things should be accounted for when they decide to hire and upgrade. Enjoy your time off though because when you get on the line you won't see many days off for awhile.
