It is a completely different job living in base. If you can move to any of the bases go to the corresponding airline and don’t look back.
False - the premium trip availability is not what some would have you believe. With the new contract, the company can have an immediate plus up on their reserve availability to cover trips during IROPS with recovery flying obligations should a line holder's trip get cnx'd or modified due to those IROPS.
