Freedom is just a few keystrokes away.

i love this place. Greatest job ever. Why sugar coat it for the new hires. You will work all hours of the day- and nobody cares you’re tired. Move the jet..

Give it a few years and you can work yourself into a routine.

Oh BTW- 777 block hours are built for 100+ a month. Doing 5 turns CVG-ICN. Giddy up

Thanks, I have a buddy facing furlough and he has signed up with these guys. It sounds like a fun hobby, but as an alternative to a real job, I'm not sure.

Haven’t seen much regarding this. With one list pending and equipment up for grabs, anything on the 737s joining the home based program?

Oh. Says on the APC profile that they are based in CVG vs other aircraft which are home based. That’s good to know. Thanks.

All fleets have gateway basing which is a little different than home basing.

It is my understanding that at the moment none of the aircraft are home based, all aircraft have different bases, but they do have gateway travel, which means the company pays for your ticket to get you to your base, you just have to travel on your day off, before you start getting 10 hours of rest before your show time, and also I hear most of the time you can get back home on your last day, depending of where is your gateway (home) airport and what time you finish.
