It's also worth pointing out that this company is night and day to when I started 3 years ago. 6 on 3 off schedule turned into 8 & 6, paperwork was replaced with electronic apps and more bases opening reduced my commute from a 2 hour drive to 45 minutes. The new pay scale is a huge improvement too.

As mentioned, it's not perfect here but we are certainly trending in the right direction.

It definitely wasn't worth it, but I couldn't help myself.

Yes. You may have the occasional overnight in base, but that is definitely not the norm.

Still waiting on an answer about the “home basing limited to certain cities” the OP stated. Do you have to live within a certain radius of a base or are they really doing a true home basing for some of their bases? Also correct me if I’m wrong but is the uniform like an airline pilot or more so business casual?

Call it a modified home basing system.

Full airline pilot style uniform. Mostly silver tie. Sometimes pink for breast awareness, or teal for lady parts awareness. Currently red for Valentine's day!
