I went through in October and did the two weeks of systems in Denver. I then had 10 days off until I started sim training in STL, during sim I had one break of 3 days off. If you are a new hire you will have to also do indoc and the cbt's in DEN. I would plan on at least 3 weeks with only weekends off. Once you bid for your sim slot, you may be able to get some time off.

Another 23 of the top 1000 left in March (Big month for SW pilots moving to Delta) and 4 so far this month.
Pretty cool for the new guys that will not only avoid sitting reserve but should be able to see west coast CA sooner than later. Between movement and increased pay, it just goes to show how different this job QOL can be with a little timing and luck.

Still hoping someone can give me an idea on how long it might take to get back to PHX or TUS. Any help is greatly appreciated!

6 months to a year. TUS is a really small base with 26 pilots. A friend of mine got TUS after 9 months, but at the same time another guy with 6 months on property got it as well. PHX is very senior but guys in my class were able to get PHX after 9 months.

New hires stay at the Candlewood SLC Airport. A nice place after the refurb. Light rail is right outside the front door, it's just a 15 min ride downtown.
Get on the pizza list early and often.
