The only thing stopping me from making a switch now is the fact I'd have to commute (I currently drive to work, but my base is in jeopardy). I just had a baby and I know commuting on a 4/2 average schedule would be really rough. Also, after upgrade at PDT I would likely be on permanent reserve since so many people will jump over me (-8 guys transitioning to the 145 and upgrades that I bypassed because of prior 121). Trying to get a more accurate feel if commuting would be doable at PDT or if I should continue to wait for a base announcement. Recruiting told me last week they expect to hear by the first of the year. I'm also looking at C5 since they have a home base for me (IAD), but I'd really like to come to PDT.

Thanks guys. And good luck on a new TA... I hope you guys get the best deal of the three!

The dash 8 lines in phl are ez to come in and out of. Right now there is a chance of being a DEC but there are many first officers at that 1000 hour mark, but we have over 15 upgrade slots available. Crazy..

With pay raises coming soon, it could be a solid choice.

Envoy managed to get some extra cash for the senior FOs by taking a breath and resisting the knee jerk reaction to take the first offer like a desperate virgin.

I hope that PDT's delay is a reflection of what envoy has done, but the misinformation you're being fed makes that seem less likely. Keep asking questions until you get the truth.
