Wow, who tinkled in your wheaties? I'm not on RSV anymore, that was 08-11. I got hired right into the base I live in. After a few months online, I got involuntarily displaced to a different certificate. I commuted to reserve for less than a year. When my lease was up, I moved to my new base. It was a bad move because 6 months later, we opened a base that was a few hour drive from home.
I'm not complaining, just sharing my experience. It's not worth it to move for this company. Bases open & close constantly. I know Captains who are on their 10th base. Not everyone can just pick up their whole lives and start over in a new city. You made an assumption about me, so I'll make one about you. You're in your mid twenties, single, and not particularly close to your family.
