I have tried fighting with commuting again and again, because I really dislike living in the current Eagle bases, but best advice if you want to be happy at this job:

DON'T COMMUTE!

It makes regional life suck. It is an absolute night and day difference.
I am going to quote this just so it can be read again by the folks considering a regional job.

Do not commute. Great example: lost my overnight last night, no biggie. Drove home and slept next to my wife. Way better.

I submitted my app last week. Five days later I received an email inviting me to contact HR.

Congrats, for all of you guys that receive this email,

Check every corner of the application, make sure you're not leaving anything out of it. If in doubt, ask here!

It would be frustrating to lose a job because paperwork don't match.

If they are inviting you to a interview, you have the qualifications and the job is yours unless you screw it someway.

Do copies of every paper you fill invade they need more than one.

Thanks for the advice! Email came right in the middle of my retirement ceremony! Nice timing.

I hear some of the new hires have gotten MIA in new hire training. That base is growing.

About screwing paperwork up, logbooks, etc. They require 250 PIC. I have that but a good portion is dual rec'd PIC. Airlineapps only let's you out your actual PIC time in their grid. Has anyone showed up with two different PIC totals and got booted from the interview?

Also, and news on the AQP program? Is it up and running?
