Thanks. Will check into it.

Days inn chester is what most commuting crews use. $45 out the door, and they are very accomodating to pilots/fas. I think the Clarion has a frew discount if you want something nicer

Regarding travel benefits, yes that does. I will consider AAG but knowing that there won't be travel benefits after retirement makes ENDV and others equally appealing, since I am not concerned about the flow as much due to age and stage in life.

Capt Yoda, maybe you could work past 65 in recruiting or sims to make up for that 3 years and get your travel benefit for retirement? Or they might increase the flying age . . . you could fly minimum hours and semi retire?

Yes, that would be a way to get the 10 years of continuous service although there is no guarantee that a position would be available exactly when needed. It seems like no break in employment is permitted to meet this requirement,

If you believe anything that comes out of a union reps mouth, you have already effed up.

How long is it taking to hold a line from new hire?
How long would it take someone with prior 121 to upgrade?
And how long to flow?
Talked to a recruiter that said 3-5 years to AA.

I have a couple questions I'm hoping you guys can help me out with.

Does anyone know what the current junior bases are for FO's?

How long reserve time is currently?

I've been reading a lot about QOL being great at PSA due to SAP. Would you say your QOL is equitable in terms of flexibility of schedule and being able to get days off when you need them?

Thanks for the help!
