I hope it's MCI, but only because I live in TUL. I'm in the pool, so I have some time decide what would be the best commuting option for me. I know DAL is very senior, so I'm thinking HOU or MDW.

Any input would be appreciated.

Is there any new word on if/when a new pilot base will be announced and what that base may be?

How Long?

Thanks,

I've only been in the pool since the end of August, so not to long. Seems like the class schedule keeps changing and the PD is not real sure what the current status is of future class dates. Hopefully not to much longer.

Good luck on your interview.

I haven't scheduled it yet.

For what it's worth, I know one guy hired without a 73 type rating and both my friend and I were called for interviews w/o the type rating.

Good luck to you.

I certainly will. I had the type since 2004 (HPA) and finally got called last month for the interview. The PD schedule's class dates by your interview date so keep that in mind when you schedule them.
