Thanks.
Thanks.

Headsets
Thanks for the info.
I have several options available since they are standard. I saw several propaganda pics at the interview that showed guys flying in something with the DCs but didn't know what plane or they were company provided in the plane. They are pretty much bulletproof for community property purposes but I don't like the idea of using a headset after who knows how many people. I'm sure no one EVER uses them when they can spread something around because no one would ever fly that way!

Not considering the base, which would be the best airplane to get right now in terms of QOL, trips , schedules etc... I start class in January and I am trying to decide what to chose if given the option. I will move to what ever base so it is a no factor.

And you didn't just say that AAG wanted 40 (we all know that), you said with certainty 40 was going to happen. Sounds like you are already backtracking. For the record I hope it happens, but you are something else. Get out of your cubicle every once in a while.

But it's no different than the fact that some guys fly on reserve and others sit home all month -- both are gonna get the 75 hours.

But on reserve it's generally irrelevant -- whether you are called in to fly, or called in to sit airport standby, you are highly unlikely to break the 75 hours guarantee. So both scenarios have the same result -- you could be called in all but 11 days of the month. You will be paid 75 hours. Yes, flying accrues credit hours, while ready reserve does not. But that's a technicality when neither case leads to more pay (i.e. breaking 75 hours).
