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.
Ohh give me a break man! Everyone should be able to just pack up there lives every 6 to 15 months and move to the new flavor of the week! You know your kids sure as hell dont need to make long lasting friendships! Ohh your wife doesnt want to leave her better paying job to move to Columbus or Indy? Tell her to suck it up because you dont want to commute! Bottom line, there is no excuse NOT to move for an airline!
