Interview scenario
Recruiter "So I see you worked at XJT for one day, why?"
You " I didn't get based at home"
Recruiter "Ok no further questions, we'll call you later"
Not a team player eh? You can't be based at home forever. There's a difference between pride and understanding how the airlines work. Go ahead though one less military guy to compete with for the majors!

It could still be the old way and there is no guarantee that you will be based in ATL. Take the first slot and hopefully you will get CRJ and be able to bid ATL later on, if you didn't get in on the first try. Or forget this place altogether and just keep plugging away to get in at a major. Either way, good luck.

Yeah, guess I'll have to take my chances. And no, I don't have to take whatever they'll give me. Not for $20k a year. Maybe more people should have some pride...
I'd love Atl crj for my own convenience and QOL but you can't walk into an airline chasing equipment and bases, got to look down the road into what it can do for you in the future.

That seems to be the driving force. Shortly after receiving my CRJ class, they called back saying management was freaking out because they couldnt fill the upcoming ERJ class. This way they're able to keep filling classes. Could be a good thing I guess, gives everyone more options.
