There are still many good people here, especially in the pilot group. Expect most likely basing up north seems like Florida is filling up for FOs.
It's got it's issues but the flying is fun And has its challenges as well. Just realize the fun always has a dark side to it. But if you're patient and have the attitude to overcome and adapt the. You will be alright.
Yeah, I don't mind the hurry up and wait mentality. If I ever get an opportunity to interview and even get a Conditional Offer, what would a commute look like from RSW to one of their north bases?
Ft. Useless was terrible. I was pretty fortunate to have 15T instructors that were very... very good. The permanent party guys in charge of the barracks were all washouts from the instructor courses. My roommate was/is an airline pilot, so we had a lot of similar interests. Outside of Useless was absolutely gorgeous... but it was cold and snowing, hence why I live in sunny south florida
