Should be awarded by the end of training. April awards shows 4.5 months from date of hire. So probably a month of SCR in Dayton before holding PHL.

If I recall correctly, TYS is a 45 minute call out. Whatever it is, it isn't 2 hours like the other domiciles.

Someone who has a contract handy, and has the ambition to post can verify or ammend this.

Tys is a one-hour call out. (But you never have to sit Hot reserve. )

If only that were a choice. For the most part, no matter which base, you will be on short call for many months. You might get a line 8 months after IOE rather than 10 with some fancy (or lucky) bidding. But your choice is not reserve for a year or line right away.

And you can get pretty much any base to start or very soon after.
