Anyone based in Dulles have any recommendations for crash pads?

Thanks!

Once we start adding more lines of flying....we'll see. Hopefully this rumored LOA they are working on will come to fruition and further improve pilot pay and QOL, thereby increasing recruiting.

Rumored LOA? Last I knew negotiations were dead.

Free commuter hotel? That a typo?

Nope. If we commute in the night before a trip or block of reserve, the company will buy us four hotel rooms a month.

Scheduling will even let you use one of your four commuter rooms at the end of a trip or if you get canceled in base if you're extra nice. The rooms take a ton of stress out of commuting.

HR still sticking with the 20 hours in the past 6 months requirement for applicants? Still posted on the website, but given the need for fresh blood wasn't sure if that was a deal breaker.

Retiring military and been out of the cockpit for almost a year. Tons of quals (5000TT, 3000PIC (turboprop), IP/CMEII) with about 200 hours in the last 24 months.

Thanks.

Of all UAX carriers, CommutAir is still the smallest, had the worst A:14, and lowest controllable completion factor in December. Not a great combo.

CommutAir

I left 9E back in the Spring of 2012. Got a non-flying job. I do some contract flying still. Got a call yesterday from a CommutAir recruiter. I haven't applied....how'd she get my phone number? LOL.....
