Define "getting based?" It will likely take years before you are truly based anywhere. Plan on moving often (at least twice a year) to "chase the sun" which really means "chase the tourists." You will either love it or hare it. It can be tons of fun if your the nomadic type.

Wow, we must be really hurting for FO's if they're sending that many interns out to STL.

So whats the deal are they hiring for FO's anymore or not? I can see both sides of the spectrum as to why they would and wouldn't.

If I remember correctly, the Ponce and MAZ guys are lifers - you need someone to die before you get in there.

And they're young.

The schedules, however, tend to be 5 on 2 off for the real junior SJU pilots so that might be something to consider.

Of the 5 on, are most of those nights spent away from SJU? What are the legs like?
