The Best!
 

The absolute best part of being based anywhere near California is In n Out!

I didn't remember, but a search did help answer that question. Good luck! What base are you looking for?

Thanks! Honestly, it doesn't matter- I've never been out west, and have no family there, so I'd go wherever.

Something to keep in mind is each base has a different QOL, schedule, mx, upgrade time etc, so something out of the blue might not be for you.

lets make a list of the "best" bases for QOL

Lets start by defining what your definition of QOL is.
Do you like being home on saturday/Sundays?
Do you like the idea of an outstation?
Do you like hotels or crew apartments?

Lots-o-variety

CVG and OAK usually have a quicker turnover (IE less desirable, but again, YMMV)

Seattle and SLC are a little more senior

PDX, PHX and DAL fall somewhere inbetween.

Some bases are all turbine, some mainly cheiftains, some lots-o-outstations.

Whats the deal with OAK? Speaking with SH, she said if I wanted OAK she could promise I'd get it. So, whats the scoop? :confused:

higher cost of living, slow upgrade, its oakland. PM me for more

That pretty much sums it up right there =) One thing to keep in mind is that when they have a vacancy in base, they will try and upgrade someone from within the base, before sending it as a company wide bid. For example, if a BE99 spot opens in Phoenix, they will offer it to the Chieftain guys in PHX before putting it out in the company that they need a pilot upgraded to the BE99.

With that said, OAK is mostly a chieftain base... so in order to upgrade you will have to be willing to move. That is why it is generally junior.

Never thought I'd see SLC on the "senior" list.
