Could you ask the company to hold off placing you in class until you could for sure get your base of choice? It probably seems like a dumb question but Ive looked everywhere and can't find an answer. Thanks!
First day, hopefully you can get DFW, but if not, pick the 145 so you can transfer later. The sooner your class date, probably the more likely you will get DFW when the next vacancy comes out. The most recent vacancy awards (Jan 14) put everyone that wanted DFW there, including the 2nd from the bottom guy on the seniority list (Dec 19th new hire). That means, if you get on right now, you should hopefully be one of the most senior new hires when the next vacancy rolls around. If there are DFW FO spots, you will be one of the first to get it. There is a rumor that vacancies will be coming out every 3 months this year, which means you could get DFW before training ends. I don't know what to tell you though, if there are not DFW FO slots on the next vacancy. Also not sure how long it takes for the transfer to happen either. Just trying to give as much helpful info as I can.
