When it comes to base assignment during training, I see that it's based off of SSN. With that being said, I expect to be more or less at the end of that list, so out of ORD, MSP, and DTW, which base goes most junior? I saw that the 9/7/21 hires all got those 3 bases.
Am I right to assume there's no choice/bidding in training and it's a simple lottery assignment?
Cheers

Impossible to answer because things change and each base is different. Theres people here that have only been on reserve one month their whole time here, and some people with bad timing that have been on reserve 18 months. Right now my guess is somewhere around 3-6 months. But thats a pure guess.

General rule is CRJ is quickest to hold a line or base you want, unless it's an ERJ only base. The joke is people fly the CRJ to move on, but people retire to the ERJ.
Edit: Just a snapshot in time, but my classmates that hit the line in June are line holders in DEN/FAT in Oct on the CRJ. Still on reserve in ORD for me.

Predicting the future of bases, reserve times and upgrades is a fool's game.

Anywhere from one week to upwards of a year or two. I am not trying to be sarcastic. It’s impossible to predict!
