Either way, I'm approaching a separation point again and am trying to catch up. Tell me if I'm wrong regarding the following ;

1) new hire numbers have increased and per contract language, flow to ******* should have increased as well, but hasn't.

2) there's such a shortage of CA that people over 1k are being forced into CA positions (this can't be true?)

3) upon involuntary upgrade, you also run the risk of being sent/assigned to another domicile for home base?

4) I haven't seen anyone listing/discussing reserve/line holding times for NHs dependent upon the base. I've been able to find those numbers on both the ******** and *** forums. Any chance someone here has them?

As someone looking at the regionals with inexperienced eyes, I can tell you that issues 1-3, if true, are non-starters for many of my peers and I. We understand that we'll be cogs in a different machine than the one we have been, but after years of not having choices, doing as your told, etc, none of us are looking for a second career that's more of the same.
