Hey all
Do you know what base you get on first day of class or is it bid and wait?

Agreed. I volunteered for it this year... It was an interesting experience, and I learned a lot. But there certainly are some trying times with that flying. The Q400 is much better suited for that place, I'm surprised it took this long quite honestly.

Much better than any 200 or 145 and in some regards I think better than a 7/9.

Remind me what the elite 4 bases are on the RJ....SEA PDX SFO PSP?

SEA, PDX, PHX, FAT, PSP are pretty much impossible within the first year on the RJ. On the Brasilia FAT and PSP are the two most junior bases though.

First off, welcome to SKW, this is a great place to work. I personally know guys that have gotten LAX in less than 3 to 4 months and another got TUS right out of training.

A good question that many of us often ponder!

Some of the FAT people drive up from SMF, or live in the foothills which is actually a nice area. But yeah, most of that town sucks. I lived there for a year, and hope I don't ever have to go back.
