One legs are most common, but knowing you usually have decent two leggers in your back pocket is nice. You'll survive. I commuted to reserve for four years. What people are complaining about now would have been a God-send around 15 months ago. I kid you not. Perspective.

Because it's the professional and right thing to do. And because burning bridges in this industry (or anywhere) is a really bad idea.

True, but I thought that curtesy was lost?

If you say so, doesn't change the fact that the base selection is putrid and hurts pilot recruitment.

Hurts recruiting? I don't see that, with 62 new hires in February. Not that they are my favorite bases of choice, but I would imagine that all the people who live in MSP, DTW, and NY find them quite amenable.

Funny, I think the bases offered by JetBlue, Virgin America, and Allegiant are horrible, and Delta and Spirit have decent bases. What's garbage to you is someone else's home.

Of course it hurts recruiting. Skywest just by virtue of their bases get hundreds of more applicants.

They missed their hiring numbers last year. They missed it in January. This is the first month they have meet their goal. It is still unlikely they will hit their yearly numbers.

Except we aren't talking about JetBlue, VA, Allegiant or Delta or Spirit. We are talking about Compass, Skywest, Endeavor, Republic, PSA, GoJet, Mesa, etc. Great, you live in Detroit, most people who aren't from Michigan don't want to live in Detroit. That hurts recruiting. New hires still can't afford NY, that hurts recruiting. That is the point, not that your home is garbage.

You're right! Ann Arbor, Grosse Pointe, Northville aren't great places to live. Just because it doesn't suite you doesn't make it so! Plenty of people aren't interested in the west coast, doesn't make it bad though!

It's so funny when you get people bashing Detroit.. First of all the airport is in Romulus, none of us live in Detroit we live in Michigan. A lot of nice areas people fail to realize that.... Very good point you make. A lot of the arguing I see on this forum are just from outsiders looking in. Moral is high here and people are fun to fly with you get a guranteed interview. When preparation meets opportunity well you know what happens from there.. End rant

The good news first year pay is high enough to justify a Crashpad.
