Other option is New York and take metro north to new haven. Our schedules are only commutable on one end hopefully down the road we can work on that.

"union at Avelo?"
Out of all the places I worked for (and there have been a few), two companies I joined from pretty close to the start. Both times I was treated really well, until things got worse, around year 5/7, and then I didn't get treated right. And there was nothing we could do except try to start a union after the fact. Every 121 in the US is union, and has been around for multiple decades. I mean, I have only been in aviation since March 1990, so what do I know? You guys have been doing this for months.

A CEO that has live meetings with all crew members several times a month to update us on our progress, take questions and allow us to interact with all department heads. And an added bonus of not having to give any of my money to a union for now and hopefully well into the distant future. (Not downplaying unions as some companies definitely need them) Those are just my thoughts and experiences, others may very. However you don’t see many comments from our crew members bashing our company. And yes you have to be willing to take a risk and be flexible.
