( oops, that base closed too), ok, Los Angeles a major USA city and hub, I'll move there (oops, another base closure), well then Tunica (nope, also closed), ok Wendover (not for long....closing now).

So to tell new hires, or anyone else for that matter, just live in base.......it only works if you want to rely on MG, SH, etc keeping your base open! Take a look, from minor middle of nowhere to major U.S. Cities, G4 will open and close bases each and every year. Yes, SFB, IWA, and LAS are probably safe. Any other base I wouldn't necessarily be convinced is going to stay operational.

I'm just putting it out there that a 2 hr commute isn't even commutable at G4. I'd like to see scheduling as a major issue for everyone in the contract (stalled) negotiations. You can only promote "live in base" if your base stays open!(Oops, another gaff.....apparently our negotiations are moving along quite well according to the propaganda management is issuing)
