New Hire

Greetings,

I start class DEC 11th, 2018. After a few days of paperwork, go home for 4-6 weeks. Assuming class/sims/IOE takes about 3 months would it be difficult to get ORD as my first choice? I live in KY and they're a lot of direct flights everyday to ORD for the commute. Also, if granted ORD out the gate how long would I sit reserve before picking up a line?

Welcome aboard!, the search feature is a good tool for questions like these (usually a bunch of people have already asked and answered them). I think right now its about 6 months give or take from Indoc to ORD. The initial assignments recently have been LGA,EWR, IND, CMH but we've all been told we would really be able to be where we wanted by the end of OE or a few months after (except IAH and MIA)

Per the October Vacancy Awards (keep in mind these go into effect on January 31st.

So they had to wait a little over 2 months to get the awards, and it will be a little over 6 months from DOH when they are actually moved to ORD.

Right now we only have data through the 9/5 class. No word yet on the 9/18 or 10/2 classes.

Anyone know what went to the most junior person in class and the age range? I would assume that with most people being young, a month or two of age difference can be a big deal as many are 22-25 years old.
