Military Leave and MO
Debating bidding to a more junior base then mil drop a majority (maybe all) trips and MO at a more senior base closer to my home. Anyone out there having any luck with this strategy? Any rules or limitations that would be a factor?
Please PM if you would prefer not to give away all your secrets.

Am I reading this right? You want to use “military drop” as a reason to drop trips all your trips at the junior base you don’t want to commute to so you can pick up trips at the more senior base close to home? I’m not familiar with the code MO.

There’s nothing that restricts it. Do what you want. Just don’t be surprised when your fellow pilots call the chiefs and complain when they are constantly flying your trips. How’s your conversation going to go with the chiefs and APA Mil affairs chairman (who’s an active reserve two star btw) when they go through your HI1 and pick apart your attendance history?
Don’t think it’s happened?
I’m not trying to be a Richard, but please don’t make it harder on the rest of us. AA is VERY GOOD about mil leave - let’s keep it that way. Remember, this is the ‘rest of your life’ job.

Please just don't... I completely agree with Cheddar, please don't make it harder for the rest of us by bending the rules and taking advantage of the system. Putting yourself in that position isn't a good idea either... I don't think it'll be a good conversation with the CPO and you may not have a ton of support from the Union/Mil Affairs pulling that.

Please don’t do this. The vast majority of military reservists at AA are doing the “right” thing. The (very) few who may be abusing the system don’t represent the vast majority who are balancing a dynamic and challenging second job for purely altruistic purposes. Let’s not give more ammo to those who already have disdain for reserve service members.
