Correct. The only thing throwing bags will do for you is hurt your back. It does nothing for your seniority as a pilot.

Detroit is cheap! Probably because most of it's residents don't actually have a home?

You'll be #1 in your ground school, as long as there aren't other SKW employees in the class. Thats how it worked with the #1 in our class, he was a ramper.

Fresno is the shiznit! I love it. No, you don't so much want to live there, but who lives in domicile anyway....jeeez. I love the smell of a three hour drive in the morning.

Hey those long commutes in your car are underrated, IMHO! Drove 2+ hrs my last Job (try doing that 5 days a week for Airport Reserve LoL). Now I'm 5 minutes away and hate it haha.

Fresno is all about junior, young(er), fun crews on a four day. What could possibly go wrong?

prior to hearing that news, i was thinking maybe SLC for skywest..?

Considering there is a maint. base and a crew room already set up in MCI for SKW I am 99% sure it's going to be a crew base.

wow thats wild. are you sure it wasnt just coincidental that the last 4 of his social security number started with a zero? ironically i hear everyone else that bases seniority on the last 4 of your social does it from 9 counting down.
