See... What that red skullcap you wear is blocking you from being aware of is that the remain in Mexico policy was reinstituted in December 2021. What they can't do (and didn't do with the last administration either) was send illegals back who had ALREADY crossed the border into the US to wait at a port of entry. Remain in Mexico applied to those who had not yet crossed the border but we're attempting to. Surely this will fall on deaf ears, though, so I'll end it at that.

Since I fall into that category, I’m curious- does that sound accurate?
The 737 type seems like a great stepping stone to the major/ULCCs that I'm looking at, which is my goal, but I have a feeling I'll be able to get there directly if I sit in my 135 job a little longer. iAero Pay seems "good", at least it would be a step up for me, but the 18 on/12off, scheduling nightmare stories, and 3-4 year CA home base seniority times seem like deal breakers. On the other hand, government contracted flights seem like a positive, if the future reality where most regionals implode becomes true.

new hires are getting Home based right out of class right now. There is talk of going to rotation schedules (7&7, 8&6, 11&10) in August if staffing levels permit

I posted a while back about AEX, but was looking for some updates since the world seems to be going back to normal. Is this still a junior base? I currently live close by and would be looking to stay there indefinitely. So it seems 18/12 seems to be the standard schedule. In a base such as AEX with the government contract flying, would you be actually working/flying all 18 of those days? Or would some of them just be on call? How many hours are guys averaging a month? What are upgrade times averaging currently?

You will get some reserve days mixed in there
