Anyone do the skype interview recently? Details?
Any interview experience is good experience. You don't have to accept the position, but if you do there's no training contract so you're free to move on to greener pastures should the opportunity arise.

Don't have the exact figures but SWA is far, and away the favorite destination: )

Everyday I show up for work at Brown I smile and thank my lucky stars Im out of that sinking ship.

Tons of UPS Captains are retiring EARLY, as in 61, 62, 63... Just flew with one last week. Asked him why he's going out now and he said, "There is no way for me to spend the $200,000 per year retirement I have coming to me, so I might as well start trying now!"

A rough estimate is we lose approximately 12 pilots a month. Estimating half of them are FOs, you get 72 in the last year. This is just a rough estimate though.

At NJA, on your go home day, you will fly 3-4 legs, then be given at least a 2 leg flight home, I have flown 4 legs, and have been given a 4 leg airline more than a few times on my last day. Same with day one. I have on several occasions parked at OAK, gotten a rental to somewhere nearby to either pick up an airline or hop on an airline, and and done several more legs without touching a pax leg.

Conversely, I know several who live in DAL, commute to SFO. They maybe stay in their crash pads 2 times a month and they can fly SWA or company to the bay area on like 20 daily flights. Several commute from Denver and don't even have crash pads. There are flights to and from DEN literally 24 hours a day on 4 different airlines. You just list on your flight, get on, ride the JS if you need to, and you get where you are going.

It was so much more stressful standing in line, with a group 6 middle seat, knowing your bag wouldn't get on without you checking it, only to know in the back of your mind that NetJets could pull you off on your stopover to have you do a trip, and you have no bag.

Is being home based easier than commuting from the middle of nowhere for a regional working 22 days a month? Abso-freaking-lutly. Living in base will always be easier in the airlines than commuting, but there are plenty of commutes that I would personally pick over NJA home basing.
Yes. Sir. I left home based NJA for a legacy gig. The commute is less painful than many of the company arranged travel days at NJA. No crash pad. Commutable trips. Jumpseat reserved a week out. Making more than NJA Capt pay in year 2. There are reasons to stay at NJA. I enjoyed my time there, but I'm sure glad I didn't let the fear of commuting keep me from leaving.

He May have 200k a year to spend in retirement, but he doesn’t have SWA points to fly his family to Cabo, so who is really the winner here...
