Thanks. I'm looking to live in base, spent a little time in COS while in the Air Force and I like the area. I guess you get to pick 5 bases while in training so I was just thinking where else I wouldn't mind.

Any suggestions for short reserve and decent place to live ?

I'll probably end up with MSP at the top of my list but might as well consider other bases.

A Walmart greet would be a much better outcome in the long run than being a lifer at a commuter flying 19 days a month.

I really don't see the difference.

Aren't PBS bids supposed to be out?

Past experience shows that the longer they take to come out, the worse the bids are. Yes they have until tomorrow at 9:00 mecca time, but the last couple months they have been out by the morning of the 19th.

Good luck to everyone. It wouldn't seem as nefarious if we had bid transparency. I'm sure that is just around the corner.

It must be a Christmas miracle cause my bid turned out great and it was by far the most complicated I've ever had!

Does anyone commute from TPA to DTW? I have an offer from Skywest and I live ten minutes from TPA.
I'm curious about Express Jet because of ATL. Any info would be great. Thanks.
