As for commuting costs, it's all basically free once you're an employee in CASS and a lot of people commute. I did it for a long time and still kind of do but if you can swing it, I recommend living in base. It really makes a world of difference.

To give everyone a heads up if you are thinking of coming here...
The DOT just made it official yesterday that Gulfstream will take over all of our Montana cities (we go to 8) effective May 1, 2011...A lot of people think it wont effect us since it will be unlikely for Gulfstream to make it up to BIL by then...but regardless of timing we are losing it.
Also Eagle just won the bid for EAS to go to Grand Island, NE (GRI) effective same date...So 9 cities total we are losing in the next 6 months
Some pilots think this won't really effect us but I don't see how that can be using logic....This company can and will make a decision so quickly that you cant even have time to say what??? It happened to me back in 2009 getting let go out of training because we lost a bunch of STL cities and not enough airplanes so history probably will repeat itself.
I hope everyone the best but just do your research and know that it is a possibly again...

rotten luck.. wonder how long that will take to trickle down to hiring, and associated stoppages.
Whats the attrition like bromackski?
