Which Legacy/Major do you want to work at and why...

[Autothrust Blue]

poor advice, FFD feed changes all the time

Fair enough. Oh the hell with it. Move to base or maybe don't. I don't have anything figured out.

 

[Autothrust Blue]

Moving at a regional is not a smart move.

Oops.

Of course, you are not privy to all the circumstances, either.

Meh when you don't have a family move around as much as you want to make your qol better....I don't blame you at all and I'd do the same thing if I could

Like I said, circumstantial.

Most everyone I know who got out of the mil and flies civilian is either SWA, Delta, FEDEX or (a couple) UPS. How are the others in terms of QOL?

 

[CFIscare]

Only one move at a regional. 2 at the major. And now with this merger, my base might close.

Were those moves due to base closures, or city preferences?

Michigan for the regional airline base DTW. That's one move. Then hired at LCC based at SFO and moved to SFO. Again, the whole live in base thing. That's two. Then NYC turned from a pseudo (ALF) base into a real base. This one you could call preference move to NJ. Rented initially for one year, moved again in NJ once I bought my current place. I'm now back in the same area I was in the mid 90s.

Now the critics will say, move to SEA, Alaska would never close that. Probably true... Until 5 years from now and then a JetBlue merger happens and suddenly JFK is the 2nd biggest hub of the combined airline.

So where do you draw the line and say enough to moving?

Obviously. That's why you're still at a regional

Like I said, circumstantial.

My QOL in base is orders of magnitude higher than my commuting coworkers. My nights away from home last month - 6. The commuters - probably 16-19.
I will not take a job that I can't move to my base. I plain refuse to commute by anything but car.... or maybe GA, which means car is possible. That said I'd maybe do it for up to a year for the right job if it wasn't possible to live there (NYC).

You are arguing about living in base with a guy that lives in base.

I am in concurrence with him No argument.

That's right, you've already said you wanted to. Now we just need to convince her...

Seattle is a terrible place. You want to move to SLC.

I have recently learned that @jtrain609 and most likely many others, didn't know Compass almost had the callsign Walleye. True story.

It's not too late to change the call sign, right? It would definitely help recruiting...
