Quick question, does anyone know or remember how far into training they assign you a base? I'm wondering how much time I'll have to search for housing before I move.

All lines are guaranteed 46 to 49 hours a week except SDY lines, which are determined by the company after you get the base. That works out to $137 to $200 in overtime a week on year one pay.

Would getting STL out of training be a possibility?

I wouldn't count on getting STL as a base anytime soon.

You'll have a better chance at getting a midwest outstation before you'll be able to get STL. Hub bases don't have many pilots so they tend to go rather senior.

It depends on many things. If you finished first in a class of a dozen, they might TDY you somewhere until they got around to doing a vacancy bid. But usually you have a couple of weeks at least from the final bid award to the end of your moving days. Looking at the last award, the final was published on 11/19 and the earliest anyone (besides trainees) had to report for work at their new base was 11/28. There's no way for me to know when the C.O.T. (completion of training) transition dates were though, a new hire would have to chime in for that one. Also, we have minimum days off when transitioning between bases for moving purposes (trainees are technically based in HYA):
-Less than 100 miles: 1 day off
-100-500 miles: 3 days off
-501-2500 miles: 7 days off
-Greater than 2500 miles: 14 days off

Also, if you are already hired here, we have transition guides and a Facebook group that can help with finding places to live. Just make sure to join the group and look for help there.

Thanks Rocketman. I need to do that. Unfortunately, I just deleted my facebook account due to it wasting all my free time. Maybe I'll make a dummy account for important stuff like this.
