Big help, Thanks a lot!

This may be a dumb question, but...would it be in any way possible by some fluke or something for someone to maybe be able to take night classes a few nights a week with the types of schedules you guys have being based out of BOS? I know probablly not, but my dream right now is to somehow figure out how I can go back to school and keep an airline job somehow...

PDT is great besides the upgrade and dim future...Crews are the best in the business, the Dash is an incredible airplane to fly (I will really miss it when I leave), contract is decent (good pay protections, crew meals, etc), LGA sucks (mostly just out-and-backs, expensive crash pad living), reserve time is practically nothing right now and hard lines out of LGA run about 15-17 days off per month. Plus we've been so short, they've been giving out "double premium pay" to people picking up open flying (that's what you block + 8 more hrs on top of that)...guys are racking it in right now

There are a lot of good things about this place, but the few bad things are big ones, like a future or an upgrade ever...plus I'm from Boston and having a company just give me that base is a nice thought.
