So what is the junior base/ shortest reserve time at Eagle? DFW or ORD? My class starts in a week and a half and I'm trying to see where the best base will be.

Drop almost all trips and work0-5 days a month to keep insurance, run your own business as your prime income.

At most companies, short of using some sort of sick leave or FMLA, extremely.

At tsa if you are not in the top 5 you are min days off (11 or12) with 85 credit.

Trip dropping is impossible due to the lack of reserve coverage because of the furloughs.

Dont even have a job yet and your looking to drop trips... somebody get this guy in class you should fit right in.

If your looking to get into this job and work 5 days a month your making a big mistake... your first year or two is gonna be hell. 5 on 2 off and many times your gonna be commuting on your day off.

Forget about dropping trips

But...(sniffle, sniffle) ... but my adviser at Short Cut to Captain Aviation Institute said I could be in command of an A380 in six months, three if I paid for the Intercontinental Heavy Jet Course. IT'S NOT FAIR!

Ask them that at the interview, and I'm sure they will give all the time off you need
