I have to laugh that 99% of new hires go to BNE. I was advised they couldn't process my application as I would only accept a BNE base- this as an Intl Wide Body Trng Capt with previous D8 exp, a Degree and ex-military pilot!. Clearly I was applying for the Regional lifestyle. They wouldn't even look at getting me into a 'hold pool' as I was uncompetitive due to my basing preference.
