I would be going in with around 600 tt. Do they ask you where you want to be based?

So is it doable to commute or not? I live in FL.

Probably not. I lot of the fo's worked 5 on/2 off some weeks. Also, fo pay probably won't afford you to have a crash pad and an apartment.

Good luck. They will probably answer most of your questions in the presentation before the interview. Remember, you can always say no if it isn't a good fit for you.

You'll find it easier to commute from the hubs. (BIL, BOS, STL)
Would it be practical for a F.O. to commute home for a day and a half or so occasionally say once every 2 or 3 weeks to visit family?

What if they were willing to purchase their own ticket say once a month would that make it more practical?

What do you think the chances would be for a new hire F.O. to get STL base?

What is the junior hub for Captains? (I think most Captains are based in outstations is this correct?)

This is exactly what my family and I would do.
