How long to just hold reserve in Houston? Would all the east coast people bid Hou because it would be a quicker commute/

I started in August, and I'm just holding HOU reserve for the first time in June.

My experience

My expereince was an email last May 1st (one year ago) inviting me to interview in June. They offered me my choice of dates out of 12 possible days. They ran interviews 4 days a week for 3 weeks in June. With the choices they gave me, I was afforded nearly 2 months to prepare and complete the necessary paperwork.

Is the base you want? A friend told me as the years go by the base will become more junior for FO's. Do you see that taking place?

Yeah, give it about oh say 5 more years, and you should slowly start to see HOU and DAL get slightly more junior by the month.
