Thanks for the welcome guys! Looking forward to it after getting beat up at a regional for 7 years. Sweating the training a bit right now though. Knee deep in systems, limitations and flows.

Run through the systems CBT's once before class. Don't get too hung up on them. Take a look at limitations and memory items, but spend most of your effort on the flows. The Pre-flight flow is the biggest bear (it has its own tab), the rest are pretty straight forward.

All of the bases can be had out of training or shortly after. It is possible to get a relief line quickly everywhere except Vegas, which takes about 10 months from DOH. Projected growth is in ORD and DFW for the short-term future.

I got the long app today but am having issues with some drop down menus for state and country under previous employers and addresses. Has anyone else seen this? I'm on a mac but have tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all with the same results.

"Excellent advise! This company really de-emphasizes systems knowledge."
The company nor the training department de-emphasize systems, they don't want you to be able to build the aircraft, but you will need to know systems, controls and indicators, memory items and ops limits. The systems aren't hard, but you will have to have systems knowledge for the Oral, for the type ride and for subsequent PCs.
That being said, the training department will teach you, not hand feed you, but will teach you. Flows (including checklist challenge and response verbiage), ops limits and memory items are what I'd study.

What's Spirits policy on swapping domiciles? Is there any type of lock at all? How often are the vacancy bids? I.E. Can I bid the domicile with shortest reserve first and then swap to domicile I want once I can hold line there?

You can change domiciles as much as you like. The vacancy bid comes out mid-month and closes by the end of the month. It is effective for the first of the month two months ahead. For example, the bid effective April 1 is out right now and closes on 2/28.
