Not specifically but they told me they had to move 4 people from Shuttle's April class to the next one because they decided to shrunk the class. they also told me that they plan to have classes every month so I did my own math. not specifically told Shuttle class on April. heard LGA is a junior base for CHQ as well though.

LGA is a pretty senior CHQ base... GRR is probably the most junior CHQ base. :) Where you get based all matters on where they happen to need people right then. 2 may goto CMH, 2 to LGA, and 4 the GRR. Who knows... But usually they don't just send everyone to the same base.

Quite a few of us ex-comair folks at Compass recently. DTW is the junior base right now. No 50 seaters, but owned by TSA.

I sent them a resume but I am minus the 4 year degree requirement hence no phone call. I guess if I had a 4 year degree in basket weaving or surfing I would be a better pilot.:D

LGA is super junior for S5 and the lines/trips are getting much better. They just added JAX, TPA and RSW overnights and from what I understand, maybe a Caribbean dest or 2 soon. and the line credit ratio is better than any other base. There's guys junior to me getting 16-18 days off with 90 credit

Nice. That's good news as I'll probably end up commuting out of Florida for a little bit. I hope they offer me a spot in the next S5 class.

From having 600 guys under me to almost getting furloughed makes me think hard about what airplane will be around in the next ten years and who is going to be flying them.

Well, sounds to me you already made up your mind then. I hear you on the Comair situation. Been there, done that. Good Luck!

I was in the same boat and chose ASA. Of course I live in ATL so my decision was easy. I haven't regretted it once.

Where do you live and where do you want to be based?

That would be my deciding factor in picking a certificate. Junior folks at CHQ can expect MKE/GRR/ORD. Shuttle can expect LGA.

I currently live in FL and won't mind to relocate to the base. still young with no family so I feel free lol...with respect to where I want to be based, out of the three you listed I prefer ORD.
