Its not about being based at home, well it is, but I am not complaining about moving/commuting, I have a sick family member, so being based near home will make my life 10000000x easier. I honestly would have went with Colgan if Eagle did not have a NY base, it was my biggest deciding factor.
I am thinking about getting off this web board though, it is like night/day between here and JC. This is the land of the disgruntled.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time. For those of us that have been reading this board its just getting a little old that you end every sentence with I NEED NY. And we are not disgruntled, most of us like our job but you have to understand that there is a lot more to this job than being based where you want on the plane that you want right from the get go. If you are fortunate enough to get based in NY I wish you nothing but the best and I'll see you on the line.

I really think that you have to chill out a little bit Rickt86. We know you need it, and probably you will have it.
Just remember in Feb 14 you probably will be able to get NY or some jet and then transfer to NY, but...what if they suddenly change the number of the fleet or move some planes from base to base? If you are the junior there you'll be displaced.
Be relax you'll do fine, you have 14 days to do your bags, prepare yourself and get some rest before training starts.
As I told you before, spend some time with your gf, your family and prepare yourself for the training not here.
Again, you'll be fine, you have the average year and you'll see with the drop in total time you'll have to choose when it comes the time in that first day.

Anybody care to share what types of lines (1 day vs 8 days, high time vs low time lines, late vs early starts etc.) generally go senior vs junior at the various bases/equipment. I am specifically interested DFW EMJ or ATR but I am interested in other locations/equipment as well in case DFW isn't in the cards right away. I am assuming lots of people try to bid for weekends off? Also, how long are guys sitting on reserve right now?
My former company let us bid for any 3-4 days off a month and would schedule our "on-call" and trips (usually 7-27 day stints) around what days they awarded us off. That being said I am just curious how it is going to work with AE so I am hoping nobody crucifies me for asking these questions. I know things are going to work much differently. I'm just curious what to expect.

VA will forward it to a recruiter, so I would recommend emailing any of the recruiters, ask them if they are waiting for something to come in.

It's been about a week and a half since I received the "2 day review" email and I still haven't heard anything yet. I sent them an email last Friday and still no response. Don't they usually send out the "thanks but no thanks" or interview invitations within a few days after receiving that email? I was wondering if I should call them or email them again, but I don't want to come across as a hassle.

someone on JC said that the email went to their spam folder, not sure if that helps, I do know they are very backed up, and not sure if they got hit with any of the ice storm.

I do not even want to see this thing when it gets to NJ, this is the worst winter we have had in a long long time, only one I ever remember like this was back in 96, where some storm like stalled out and spun around a low for like 3 days dumping like 4 feet of non stop snow.
I have a pain in the butt driveway and my GF loves reminding me that I am sitting at home all day doing nothing when it comes time to shovel it.
