What people don't realize is you can make the same money there work 1 less day each month, that would make up for a little more drive time in my book.
No way.
A new hire at JB will sit reserve for a long time. If he lives 2.5 hours away from base, that's not exactly a good quality of life. If he lives 40 minutes from one of our domiciles, that makes reserve a breeze.
Don't let you anger cause you to give bad advice.
Everyone in this industry knows the best places to work is the airline with the domicile where you live. Commuting to reserve in NY is not a great option. I'll gladly take 10 dollars less an hour to sit reserve in my house with my family.
