Cape is good because no matter what you are home every night. I know that it is every pilot's dream to get into that heavy however, being away is inevitable. Tough decisions...
Alex, I used to bid for ABE and I never got it until I called Mikey himself, I called him and left a message, he called me back 5 mins later and gave me ABE (yes yes it was a very nice thing for him to do) Unless you call them they may not honor it. A lot of people used to bid bases and the only way they got them was if they called Mikey directly, give it a shot............
PS being able to drive 30 mins to work is priceless, I have been on both ends and I wouldn't trade it for the world, home is home
