If you live in KC or DFW, they won't make you go to BUF if you don't want to. They may offer BUF, but you don't have to accept.
You are called in to interview for a specific spot in a specific base from your preferences.

Beware of USMCFLYR...

Guess giving the good and bad isn't enough for some.
#1 - If I work 15 days - I get 4 off (domestically). That is almost a standard 40 hr work week. When I was looking for flying work - I knew that I'd travel. I recently had some water damage at home. The claims adjuster used to be a catastrophic adjuster for Farmers. He would spend MONTHS on the road. My father owned an independent company in the same business and did the same. Sometimes you just have to have some comparisons.
#5 - We have the same troubles getting hotels in certain locations at times. We are allowed to go something like 250% over rate with justification. Do you have anything like that? If not - and you can't get a hotel room for at rate or below - you aren't you saying that you are expected to pay it yourself are you?
#6 - You aren't kidding! My scheduled changes constantly! Keeping up with the logistics of the trip is a major hassle, but like some others have said - most would rather have the flexibility to make those choices themselves. One of th reasons that I decided against International work was the 2-3 week worth of logistics put together and then the thought of the schedule constantly changing and making all those changes! It is hard enough in the central US - working those issues throughout Europe, the Middle East, or the Pacific Rim would be troublesome.
#7 - One thing our bosses tell us is that it is OK with management asking where the money is going. When you were asked about this expense - did you receive any fallout or was the answer accepted never to hear anything else about it?
#8 - Big picture? We often have some of the same questions. Especially if two aircraft both end up at the same airport when one aircraft could be doing both inspections. Hummmmm. At some point though - sometimes there are bigger issues at play.
#9, 10 - Yep - dual qual questions asked in another post. That is part of the issue with dual types. LOTS of places do it obviously. At least you are only a PIC on one type of aircraft.
--------------------------------------------
So bye727.....if RI did come on and give a long post with #10 different ONLY good paragraphs I can understand why you might feel the need to call him a cheerleader. If a person came on and gave 10 different paragraphs and didn't have anything good to say - would that person be considered a debbie downer and jaded then?
OBTW - some of those FACTS sound an awful lot like personal stories - and that is fine - but unless they are happening to EVERY PERSON - those are just your experiences with different situations and shouldn't be portrayed as a FACT (of course we might have a different definition of FACTS too I guess.)

The joke comparing Michael Jackson to Executive Airshare? It's basically harmless to most people on this form, unless you're a company man. Who might that be? There is a lot better information about EAS on another site that starts with Pro. This one has a lot to be desired...

I've read the PPW threads. There is no info there that isn't here.
The only difference is your antics and USMCFLYR and I aren't there.
Just cause you got your feelings hurt after a tasteless joke doesn't discount the info here.
Back to the regularly scheduled program.
