had a couple buddies that would have to be very junior to you leave in the last month, and they werent training washouts. just figured id throw that out there to show that junior people are leaving. from talking to people things have been getting worse there with scheduling and such as of late and people are starting to get fed up with some of the little things.

you would know better than me and im going off second hand info so take it for what its worth.

*supposedly* PDT bought like 50 crew parking spots in PHL, but we were supposedly to have ordered a bunch of Q400s or ATRs (read: beluga whale) by the end of last year.

I don't think LGA will be going away anytime soon, it seems like a pretty strong base for us.

I know a lot of guys would love to see a PHL base for commuting purposes, I know i hate being out based.

HAHAHA!

every day its a new smell, sometimes its trash, sometimes its food from jetrock sometimes its homeless people that snuck through security.

Yeah, it really does suck.

And for the new guys and gals on reserve our crew scheduling people really jack them around. It ain't fun at the moment.

I don't see the glass as half empty, but there may be a leak in it...

.

It is only going to get worse with RDU and LGA opening. Get ready for a bunch of 2 +3 day trips and a lot of 2+2's. My guess is that we will start seeing a lot of day trips out of all bases. Great for those who don't commute.

If anyone thinks schedules suck now... Just wait!

Word.

I am going to rent a room in RDU and just not commute as much. Hopefully I can avoid the whole thing altogether and you can move up one. At least RDU is a pretty nice area to waste time. Lotsa talent!!
