Do a lot of new hires get MEM? Is it likely to end up based in China as a new hire?

I am a new hire 727 FO, living in MEM and sitting A reserve. I was gone for 5 days in FEB. I had a couple of airport standbys (dozing for dollars) in there as well, but the kids never missed me as I was gone and home while they slept.

It's a great gig- good luck to you.

You need to clear out your PM storage - it's kicking back messages because you're full.

Um, he said it isn't a safe bet and that is TRUE. Your mileage certainly has varied, but I've been here 6 years and have missed 4 Christmas holidays.

Christmas off isn't guaranteed but compared to my buds at other airlines, I think the odds are a lot better. I've been very lucky, 16 for 16.
