Default Flight Express Domiciles

I am a long way off from applying for a freight gig, yet I was wondering how difficult it is currently to get St. Louis as a new hire? Being from the Chicago burbs and having connections just outside of St. Louis it would be very nice.

I know 3 people right now that have been TDY in Orlando, Tampa and Opa Locka trying to get to the CPS base. I think one guy is finally getting to go up there after about 6 months in Tampa, one just got word and has been in Orlando for 4 months, and one just got out of class and is now at OPF waiting for a slot to open.

I got St Louis right out of training. Then, another got failed training, and I had to go to Kansas City for a month. Then, it was St Louis.

Dude Im in no hurry! In fact id love to stay here (on TDY where all my expenses are paid for of course ).

From the looks of it in dispatch they have several openings there. One guy in training this week that was supposed to go to CPS quit due to family crisis. Im guessing you wouldnt have much of a problem as of right now but who knows after that.

A couple of pilots are.

At FLX (just like any company),l things can change in a heartbeat. When I got to the company, I was one class to late to get BNA out of training. However, there's a guy that lives in Murfreesboro that just got BNA right out of training. Things can change rather quickly.
