Since your at a loss, I wrote it out in four languages for you Helen Keller.:eek:

Dude the google translator is terrible, stop using that! :p

How many spaces between sentences, Officer Grammarson? :rolleyes:

Surely, you meant:

"You mean "quit!" Why is it that so many pilots can't spell? Why is their grammar lousy? I wonder what kind of errors I'll find on their resumes."

Notice the proper use of quotations, capitalization and punctuation used in my example. I realize my attempt is not perfect. But anyone reading this right now has noticed bad use of the English language on the internet before. We are all guilty, but who cares? This particular forum is a place pilots can go to mix questions, advice, facts, lies and opinions into woven threads of emotion. So yeaahhh.

Well, to bring this thread back from the dead. Any updates? Last I hear is that we're at the National Mediation Board and ask to be released, then as a curtosey to our employer the NMB draggs its feet through mud before they'll release us to our cooling off period. Is it to force binding arbitration over self help? No news? No progress?

hey ladies and gents, any ideas on where new hires are placed? Does upgrade time take place at ATP mins, or is the wait longer than that?

I have an A & P and would love to subsidize my job by working in a hangar somewhere as well. Do you guys have many days off a month?

Thanks for the info.

Matches up with the e-mail I got from GLA's HR dept a couple of weeks ago.

Mind if I ask what Equip you got? The EMB junior base is Williston, ND, but the Beech has some different junior bases. I hear Pierre, ND, Farmington, NM and some others seem to go junior. Not sure about how many days off you'll get, again depends on equip and base. But not sure how much you'll be able to do no matter what base you get.

Is it hard to find housing in those outstations? Or do most guys commute from somewhere else?

Well, I cannot speak for every base, but as for me I live in Las Vegas and commute to Williston. Williston is a unique oil boom town and housing is hard to come by, but people have crash pads everywhere I would guess. Up here we've made sure nobody is on the street and I imagine the attitude is the same everywhere else. A place is something that just seems to settle into place. Between studying, indoc, systems, and sim, being a new hire has so much more troubles than housing at your base once you get there.
