Both time I have been told that I can plan on being assigned at least three domiciles in my first 18 months and they strongly advise against commuting. Can anyone speak to this? Is this correct that they fully expect you to move your family three times in 18 months? If so, this job really is just for 23 year old CFIs....
That used to be more common but theyve fixed a few things. Commuting is not really an option- so yes you will have to move to whatever base you are awarded. The problem occurs during the seasonal changeover. Holding Hya or Bos in the winter for anyone junior can be impossible but an outstation can be held year round. I left there 2 years ago but others who are currently employed there will give you more up to date info. Good luck.
