you guys still have Hyannis as a base(seasonal anyway), I always thought that would have been fun in the summer..........

Ahhhhh yes, actually ACK was GREAT!!!!
Especially for the FO on the 1900 back in the day.
We had to stand at the bottom of the stairs as the rich ladies in their skirts had to climb up, and bend ever so slightly to not hit their heads!!:D

P.S. Lax, I bowed out of class. Came home yesterday. Too much going on at home for me to be away for 6 weeks, and for the pay. Looked like IAD was going to be the base for most...?

Short Bus...sorry to hear that, but family time is more important! I wish you well. Good luck with the kiddo's!

I happened to be in that class ... good times right there ... I think steam might have actually been coming out of my ears on that one ... :)

But in answer to your question Jax, IAH and IAD are both hub bases, yes. From what I have heard, LGA is dwindling down quickly ... but that's just the rumor on the street down here in IAH. I've been down here since July of '07, and I will tell you, it is VERY senior. If you want to come to IAH, I'd expect to be getting the scraps and pieces of schedules from what the line holders can't fly for a while. BUUUUT, on the upside, you'll love everyone in IAH, we have a bunch of great guys/gals down here (with maybe one or two exceptions).

I just handed in my bid sheet with IAH and TYR as one and two.... the mood for most of the guys in class is one of trying to preserve QOL.... not necessarily just looking for high time lines.... which I found pretty interesting.
Lot of hopeful commuters in this new hire class..... crossing my fingers.

Right now it might turn out in your favor unless someone senior to you in the system wants down here. We just had 4 FOs leave IAH in the last month, so that creates some openings down here ... plus we have 3 of us leaving for upgrade before the end of Oct, so odds are some of you in class will be able to come down to the great land of Texas! It's a blast down here, you'll love it. Best of luck to ya!
