They are really looking for folks to be based at either Austin, or Orlando although they still claim "home basing". Schedules are suppose to be at least 15 or so days out or more, but right now (because they are short on pilots) they come out about a week before.

This is not a "normal" airline, all trips come back to base, unless there is an issue. So if you are based in Austin, you are in Austin every night . . .if you are on reserve, then you sit reserve at your home. If you are home based, you dont get predium while flying out of your home based. AS far as working you hard . . . many pilots right now are flying the max number of days or hours flown a month per 117. This place will either be a great place one day, or they will continue to have a hard time based on the decisions that keep being made by management.
So are they hiring to replace the lost CA's? I applied with 4000+ Pic in type weeks ago. No reply. If they take away home basing, the quality of applicants is gonna take a hit.
