yeah I get that confused as well. Neither of them look like the city it represents.
Maybe new hires to AUS as they still need to fill that.
Once that is filled there may be a giant suckimg sound as people move back west so new hires should continue to get east coast bases. Bwi, maybe mco, mdw.
All id know for sure is most likely no new hires to any west coast base thos year. DEN west

ORD comes from Orchard Field. Fun fact, it’s now named for Ed O’Hare, Medal of Honor pilot for actions in 1942–but not during the battle of Midway which the other airport is named after.

Just wondering what life as a new hire at MDW would be like? Currently flying the yellow bus out of ORD and live in Chicago, so doing some research since applications to SW are now open.

Life would be good. Worst case, you’ll be on reserve, which is easy living in base. It’s also lucrative due to the rules regarding changes to your schedule. If it changes, it pays 50% more. And it will change. Usage varies, but generally less than half the days. Days off is a minimum of 16 (15 in a 30-day month, 14 in a 28-day month). I’ll let someone wiser advise you on time to get into MDW. I have no clue.

I’d run from Spirit. Even if we ignore the bankruptcies etc., what kind of buffoon dresses their flight attendants like a wasp? 🥸
