You deserve to be on a jet? You're joking right? maybe I can't tell that you are.

I already got a job offer from them and turned it down. I was just pointing out the site to others.

I have never been based in SJU, but have spent a lot of time there visiting friends who were based there. Operations run as slow as molasses, youll be hot all the time, and the overnights are short. On the bright side, if you like to drink, gamble, or chase women you will have a blast Also great surfing, beaches, snorkeling, sailing. The flying is some of the most beautiful in the system and youll be a better pilot for it (NDB holds, crazy ass visual approaches) It is what you make of it, so start learning spanish!

A buddy of mine left a bid preference in to change bases and is pounding sand because he didn't really want it.

I was told early on if you don't want it....don't bid it and if you don't bid...don't bi*ch.

One bright spot....I will no longer be the most junior DFC! Two guys (including my buddy ;-) ) coming in below me.
I'm keeping BOS as my preference... Grand opening is just around the corner. Feeling good about it...
