Forgive me, I didn't read through 76 pages. Does Gama/Wheels Up require you to live at your base or can one commute?

Thanks in advance.

Must live within 2 hours of your base.

That 2 hour rule is fluid. They had an FO that was based in CT and lived in NC. Then he was based in TEB but still lived in NC.

It all depends what you negotiate! And don't let anyone tell you they don't negotiate. They do. I used to work there.

thanks for the input durind.
I believe WU is top heavy on the west coast atm. I'd think that Sea would be the only option for a Seattle base since BFI has no airline service or in house MX on the field.

Most hiring in the Central and Eastern regions at the moment, will start hiring in the West in the next few months. PM me if you have not heard back, will see if I can help get your name moving through the pipeline. Specify what base you're interested in and basic flight times.

I just saw a Wheels Up commercial on CNBC. Looks like they're spending a lot promoting the brand lately.

Quick question.
Let say one is based in PHL but wants to travel out of ATL for a stretch of days off on the backside of the trip, is that possible? Or are you always going to start and end a trip in your base of record? Also how does sick calls work? And is it 8 days of vacation forever? Of does that increase over time?

Thanks
