Yeah, this is kinda what I meant in my long reply. Our SJU and MAZ bases might not be so difficult to live in under the new rules, but it might not be enough for a 1st year pilot with a 40 hour line in places like the USVI, and probably any of the islands down there. We'd have to see how the new contract would affect how junior the Caribbean goes. One thing to take into consideration though, which might help at least a little; if they vote this TA into effect, they might start building a lot more lines with overtime down there. I know that because of the override and locality pay, they were trying to run as lean as possible down there, so maybe the lines and staffing would change for the better. That's just wild speculation though. And no I haven't lived in the Caribbean, I've been lucky enough to be able to stay up north my entire career here (if you can call a 35 min line lucky). I've been asking a lot of people who have been in the Caribbean though, to get an idea of how much it costs to live down there. I think your comparison to MVY and ACK would probably be pretty accurate as far as food and gas goes.
