Short sighted. Enjoy working the holidays for the next twenty years. Ask your Captains how kick summer vacation they hold and how many holidays off they get. Right now you can have your cake and eat it too.

Yes his priorities are great, but if EVERYONE took that tack, we'd have no viable military service as you get no choice but to leave home for longer periods of time. Since he has the choice, I too agree that he has made a valid decision. Beautiful thing about this career is there is a trip, path, plane, location, schedule, or company for everyone. |

You’ll know your base and aircraft before you start class at Delta, if you get something west coast based which is essentially everything except the 717 you have your answer. Go to Alaska and await the class email and leave from there, plenty have done it before plenty are doing it currently and they’ll be boatloads after you. Worst case you stay at Alaska and have a decent career.
Your last sentence is dead on. Thank you. |

How did we even get on the topic of the military? I was referencing having no desire to do a transcon commute….and suddenly it turned into something about joining the military? This forum is darn weird sometimes….

I applied in May and didn’t hear anything until I went to a meet and greet in late Sep. But my times were not very competitive, low TT and 0 121. Things moved quickly after the meet and greet.

How is commuting at Alaska? I may be getting an interview soon and I'm considering my options. I live near MKE. There are direct flights to SEA I could hop on.
This would be temporary. I do intend on moving back out west one day. |

You’ll need to give yourself 2 flights to get to work, so I’d make the drive to ORD to check that box since there’s tons of frequency. Signing up for commuter status will put you at the top of the non-rev list going to and from work which makes things a bit easier. |
