Moving may as well have been a full time job. Ive spent more time waiting for the cable guy than anyone I know.
Dont try to tell us that we knew what we were getting into.
Ok Bro. I agree with what you wrote. I guess I should have worded what I wrote a little better. I was just stating that some jobs require relocation and gave the example of my family. I think that pilots should be able to live where ever they want to and commute to work. I was simply stating that if the airlines were to ever expect pilots to all live in domicile(unrealistic); they would have to pay for everything. This is apparently what you have experienced first hand and your company does for its employees. I wasn't trying to tell you that you should have known what you were getting into.
I realize everyones blood pressure is up right now because of what is going on with Colgan 3407 and the media garbage. Relax a little bit.
