I have no idea of how functional the program is going to be, especially when compared to other carriers they give you 4 nights a month and all you have to do is call scheduling and they get it set up for you.
The 15K would be a big help, but that amount really needs to be dropped and rolled into pay rates, IMO. Even then, you'd still see the money your first year without having to deal with a two year contract for the bonus.
Also keep in mind that "down south" will be a two leg commute to reserve to any of our junior bases, unless "down south" is referring specificaly to TYS.
All that said, I expect some big changes soon.
I specifically want to move to Nashville. I was getting excited a few months back when I read that BNA was in the running for a crew base. I think BNA would be popular. Low cost of living and a nice growing city. That would be great for me. I'm aware of the TYS base and that is roughly a 3 hour drive from Nashville. Either way I'm going to have to make a choice very soon within the next month. I only have PSA and Envoy on the radar. I just want a company that I can call home. Also I've thought of the commute and If its 2 legs that will get old really fast.
