My current position is spot #3 on my vacancy bid. I have 2 CA spots above where I am now. I’m not commuting to CA for 6 mos.
I’d wager most everyone east of MDW/DAL/HOU won’t either. Just like I won’t go to BWI or ATL.
Is sitting rsv for months at a base over a 4 hr commute away worth a 40% pay raise? To some, sure. To me that’s a big, f*#! that.
