Hey,

Heres the deal. Just got back from DFW today. Got the job, got BOS. They just asked us where we wanted to be and that was it. No problems.

Definitely, just show up for the interview and tell them you want BOS. You will get it. We have a lot of guys based in BOS who drive in from the Cape area.

thats actually a big thing for a lot of people. lots of lifers now, i have no idea why, but whatever thats less competition for the rest of us and i think this whole base choosing thing is awesome for them

What are the chances of DFW, are all bases open right now?

Anybody have any insight as to the commuting conditions at DFW or LAX?

If it was really that bad of a place to be then nobody would stick around. Lots of people come here because they have been through many other airlines, careers, or just b.s and want some stability while living where they are based.

I think that a lot of people that stay at eagle because they decided that they put too much time after putting 5 years into Eagle and therefore it is shorter to wait it out at the top of the seniority list rather than start over at another airline. "just a little longer, just a little longer, just a little longer, too late to turn back....."

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 09:25 PM.
