Wish we had a duty rig! Definitely necessary for some of the trips we do in some bases.

Deadhead pay should definitely be addressed. I’m deadheading as much as I’m flying these days for no extra pay. It’s hard to break min guarantee with the way they build the trips unless you are willing to work on your days off.

Just get your flows and call outs down. Study for the oral. Work with your sim partner every day, hopefully y’all click well and makes the training process better. Make sure to also take time to decompress

Default Base Seniority

Could I get a rundown of the bases in-order of seniority please? I’m specifically looking at getting to CVG but I would be interested in
other bases as well.
