I love JFK only cause I live here...

I wouldn't count on BOS anytime soon. It seems like more and more of the BOS flying is going to Big Sky and Chautauqua. I used to do trips in and out of BOS every day, and now I havent been to BOS since August. (But that's just my schedule) Plus, Delta losing some gates to Continental isn't helping things either.

I heard from a check airman that the reason no one showed for that class was because the training department goofed and never notified the people they had booked for the class. Or something along those lines. Apparently everyone from that class was put into the next class.

I just got out of training and everyone keeps saying that they cant hire pilots... as hard as they have been trying. Someone from my class overheard HR saying they cant find people and had to cancel one of the November classes and another class. Not sure what is going to happen. Hopefully they can keep 'em coming, I need seniority!!

I just got an interview offer from Comair. Either the 14th or the 27th, havnt heard yet. Comair is really where I want to be and CVG would be great because I have family there. Any words of advice from you all that have been here a while would be great!! By the way my TT is 700/35 not sure if they will want more multi time after the interview or not.

I may not love JFK itself, but NYC is growing on me. I had the weekend off and just stayed in the city cause I really didn't feel like going home. I went into the city the last two days, watched the NYC Marathon in Central Park. I walk everywhere forcing me to exercise. Go to the Kew Club with the guys in my crashpad. I wouldn't have this in CVG. It would actually cost me more to live in CVG then here. I'd have to buy a car, make payments on it, live in "suburbia" where I nothing happens. Here I can have a few and walk or subway it home. And I grew up in Texas too. You'd think I'd hate it.

If they are interviewing you, they are probably happy with your ME time. I got awarded CVG on Dec. 1, however, the class after us and the one after them got their choice. If you are forced into a base other than CVG, you probably wont be there long if you want a transfer. Good choice on Comair, they have a great training program and will do a lot to help you get through.

That is exactly what I had when I went in for my interview. They called me 3 hours after the interview ended and said you're hired, but you must go get 25 more multi hours. 2 Weeks later, I had a start date.....

Default JFK vs. CVG

I do enjoy the captains I have been flying with from JFK. But I haven't flown with many from CVG so I couldn't tell you which place is better. My commute is easier to JFK and that is the only reason I'm still there. Everything else is a hassle; from the Q runner to the ramp. If I could commute to CVG I probably would have put in for a transfer. And I would buy an "airport" car, not something to make payments on.
