When did you interview? I didn't think any calls would go out this week. I know the last board was on the 13th.

My group interviewed on Dec 4th AM and no one has received a phone call yet. 8 total people in group at least 2 TBNT letters and three with rec calls complete...pins and needles

Wonder why they call it a 'board' instead of just a 'committee' or 'the chief pilots'? (shrug) weird

For those in the know, I have a question about choosing my base.

I'll be commuting out of RSW, and it looks like MDW or BWI would provide the best commute for me (I know MCO and ATL aren't happening anytime soon).

-Both have direct flights from RSW (looks like BWI has a few more than MDW)

-My sister lives in the Chicago area (but actually lives out by ORD, not sure how much that would help me if I'm on reserve)

-Don't really know anyone in BWI

-I read elsewhere on this forum that the crashpad situation may be better at MDW but really have no idea if this is true or how to find out info on crashpads.

Any thoughts about which base I should put higher on the bid list?

The airline/commuting world is all new to me, thanks for your help.

Oh wow. I was in the 1/13 interview group. They called my recs last week and some others. I guess i shouldnt count on a call any time soon. Yes it is pin and needles for sure.

I waited 6 weeks before the call, someone else in my class waited 8.

Here's the big question with that.....will you have your family to transport you from ORD to MDW if you have to commute into or out of ORD? Have the extra option of using ORD to commute can be a big help.
