New Hire Bases and DCA
Long time reader, first time poster. Greetings.
I live in DC and I have a January class date with RPA. Trying to project how initial base assignments are given and what those will be (PIT, CMH, etc...). Are requests taken or they assigned randomly initially?
Also, how soon could DCA be held as a new hire FO? Would it be possible by the end of IOE or should I expect to commute for a few months (and to where)?
Being that I live in DC, it’s a big reason why I chose Republic—just trying to see what my outlook will be for DCA. Thanks.

If you're not gunning for IAH or MIA, you'll get to your base of choice quick.

Gotta pay those dues in an outstation for a while, but you should be able to get to DCA with a few months. Good thing is you can get to those outstations on our metal out of DCA. Junior DCA guy for December is a 7/23/19 hire, junior lineholder Jan 2019 hire.

And thank you for those latest numbers. If I’m looking at them correctly, training footprint is about four months including IOE so I could have reserve out of DCA by the time I would be off IOE and holding a DCA line a few months after that.
If I am interpreting this incorrectly, please let me know.

As to OP, you'll be able to get LGA until you can get into DCA and the commute between the 2 is incredibly easy. It wont take long for DCA.

And, if so, what would be #2 if LGA wasn’t an option?
