FWIW- I live in base and have had decent progression here helped along with mostly luck and timing. It’s been a good job with no major complaints. Plenty of squawks and lots of room for improvement still though, but happy enough to show up. I only live about a 45 minute drive away though which makes all the difference. What I tell others is that I am happy here with no intention to leave but...if I HAD to commute, I’d look to the legacies.

Don't look too hard in to a first post, everyone had a first post right? Was simply my experience and mine only, however, you conveying your experiences to a potential coworker is a good thing as well. Its all good.
I enjoy it here. PLENTY of things we NEED work on no doubt. My commute is easy. QOL is awesome. I choose QOL over money and seat. It's simple for me. Others might want different. I have a few friends that have left and are very happy they left for their reasons but they do miss something about JB.
It's my opinion and I will be attacked soon after this is posted. Not in person... just behind the curtain like the "great and Powerful OZ"

That's funny that you say you will be attacked for your post, I made one post and feel that way already haha, just have to laugh at it. Attacking others over differing opinions is not worth the engagement, it says more about the attacker than anything else. Good luck, I hope jb pilots get everything they deserve, I had a great experience with the people I flew with.

I still like going to work and tell every pilot interested in coming here the same thing. It’s not perfect but then again where is?
We ARE at the bottom of our peerset. And no retirements, no widebodies, no leadership, no rudder and slow growing.
That's not a great combination. Yes, this isn't busting rocks in Afghanistan, but is THAT the right comparison?
