So I got a DEC interview this week and the request for interview came in hours after application submission. So i take it they are really short on CAs. Question that i have, what are the chances getting a TPA base right of the bat? I have a good gig right now but I commute and its a great commute availability/reliability. Don't know if I would accept the offer if I wasn't guaranteed the base at signing or at most after training.

There are few to no airlines that guarantee a base.

That's not how seniority works. You should talk to all the west coast SWA FOs who thought OAK was a sure thing only to find themselves commuting to BWI for their first month. Forutnately for them it was mostly very short lived and they held OAK their 2nd vacancy.

Over a year for CA. FO, slightly shorter. Only good thing about DEC is money I guess, expect to be sent all over on reserve until your seniority catches up.

That's not how senority works in the airline biz.

What’s going to happen to the 190 bases? Transitions to A220 or closures?
