GSO is a very senior base for the captains and for the most part junior for the FO's. I think there are a couple way senior FO's who are there because they live in base, but the turnover at the bottom of the FO list is pretty high. Lots of people are sent there out of training but bolt at the first opportunity.

As was said, it is an outstation base. Historically a multi-day trip will start way early, then there will be a long layover somewhere, flipping the clock so it will end way late. It is a very impractical commuter base.

Also historically low trip credit, as was also said. Some of the guys who live in base bid reserve, preferring it to back-to-back 2-days followed by a day-trip every week in order to meet the minimum line value.

The crews there are a very tight knit group. Very friendly. I don't miss RAH but I do miss them.

RAH has had a base of some kind there since 2003, but the way RAH opens and closes bases, nobody, not even Vegas, will take bets on any RAH base's potential longevity. In '09, I believe it was, they closed the CHQ 145 base in favor of the RW 170 base. Half the captains and all the FO's were displaced.

Bottom line: you will be flying bad trips with good people for as long as the base stays open. Life will be good if you drive to base and hellish if you try to commute.
