Humm, while I agree the deciding factor is living in base is the way to go...
From what I've heard from friends still there is that nobody is mentioning that while they are telling him he will get a line right out of school, they are not telling people that once they displace their EMB pilots out of NY it will trigger a displacement bid, and all of the new hire CRJ guys can expect to be displaced to different equipment, most likely the EMB and be on reserve.

how's that for a run on sentence?

Oh, and as much as I hate outside subcontractors, ASA would be the better job. Eage for sale... yeah right. When something is for sale, you hear about it AFTER the sale is done... like Compass & Mesaba... Eagle gets put on the block for sale everytime a pilot contract is being negotiated or amended... be it APA or EGL ALPA. Stop drinking the koolaid.
