Just accepted an early May class date, wondering how senior Indy is being the home of Republic. Trying to decide whether or not to move the family to Indy or commute as well as likelyhood of getting Indy out of IOE. Thanks for any input in advance

IND, when I was working on the sked committee, was super senior. I doubt that has changed - but then again some S5 flights have gone west of the Mississippi so change does happen!

As of a few weeks ago, new hires were getting ERW, LGA, PIT and DCA. Probably wont get IND directly out of OE, but give it a few months and you'll be able to hold it.
Also, commuting is it's own special hell. If you can help it, move to a base for better quality of life.

As a new hire, do you get to bid for your initial base while in training or is that strictly assigned by them and then you have to bid out once you have seniority?
Republic is still my #1 because of the PIT base as that is where I'm from and would want to base out of there if/once hired.

As for PIT, PIT is SUPER junior for FOs. You should 100% expect PIT as a new hire.

I make that drive frequently when I go home as I currently work in Philly. It's 5 hours doing 80MPH the entire way across and let's not forget the $40 toll each way plus $25-30 worth of gas.
If I wanted to fly out of Philly I would not be moving back to Pit.
