There are three days of sim, then you'll observe some Aspen flights, then some OE with a LCA. Once you are signed off, you'll be able to bid. Bidding is done with hard lines. You get an email with a PDF and you email the lines you want in order of preference. You fly with the same captain for the whole month if you are a line holder (with the exception of swaps/drops/trades/etc).

Unless I'm completely oblivious go ahead and transfer out. With any luck they'll let me in and I can just drive to work.

Yes. Transfer as soon as possible. If they train you all the way through line check, even if you transfer out and back in, you'll be reflowed to do aspen stuff. Try to not get trained at all if you wanna avoid it.

That being said, I love aspen. But on the jr side, it can literally mean the difference of reserve with 12 days off while your peers are in pbs making 95 hours with 14+ off. Huge pay and qol cut.
