Oh yeah, a Vet too...not sure what they are looking for but apparently I'm not it..
I got the same email you got, guess they are not hurting..

Pay for parking, airport car, & Crashpad that you'll spend a LOT of time in are all considerations. In SFB, crashpads aren't cheap, compared to what I used to see around JFK.

If a base has 2-ish planes based there then I'd worry about bases closing. FLL had been here for years. PGD has 5-6 planes and most likely is here to stay. Bases like AVL or any newer small bases that open I'd be concerned.

Thanks for the insight. i'm just trying to wrap my head around commuting lol. Thanks!
Having said that, you would have to get the Airbus and not the MD80 to have a shot at PGD (or FLL for that matter). In the recent past, they were running mixed classes and you needed to be above age 35 to get the AB as it went right in seniority order. Lately though, it seems the classes they are running are either all AB or all MD80.
Now having said that, it appears that our new TA, if passed, will no longer used age for class seniority. Instead they will be using the last 4 digits of your SSN. Technically there is nothing to stop them from doing that right now as we have no agreement.
