We are both aware of the long trips and I don't think it'd be a problem. International travel, I don't believe would be a problem for us either. I know the money isn't Delta, but I have a sugar momma so it's not a major concern for me.
What appeals to me are the ability to live where I want and not "commute", and I like being able to lump everything together into larger days of days on/off. Not to mention the variety of payload, destinations, bases...etc. So are there guys who work there who stay married and have kids and actually enjoy the place? All I've ever heard is that it's not a place for married people. All in all it seems like it will this tolerable, but hopefully a future contract will get us home some more. If not, my efforts to move on from here will increase! I'm still in my first year, so things may change, but researching this place a lot (reading majority of this thread was very helpful), and discussing realistic expectations with my wife were key to this working out. I love the job, and would like to stick around, but we really do need some serious improvements in this contract. Also, for those wondering about bases, things change of course, but I was able to hold CVG starting next month, and I was a March hire. |

Just curious, when, did you get the "preferential hiring pool" offer? I know there are several of us still waiting for class dates.

Congrats Ateam......Knowledge brought courtesy of a firehose. But its all good so far... |
I recently took the online test and got in the mid 80's. I logged back in and looked at the report to see the score and it said that there were 2 attempts made on the test. Is this a computer error? and should I be worried ?
