Don't come here. Being a line holder doesn't matter, everyone is a reserve. I haven't done a four day trip that didn't get horribly reassigned in months. Call in fatigued and it counts as a sick call if the Company determines it wasn't their fault. They don't give a rats *** about safety. Had to refuse an aircraft for ferry a few days before Christmas because maintenance control didn't know the systems of the aircraft well enough to realize it wasn't safe to fly. Go somewhere else. Please.

Ouch!!! Maybe you guys need to start the whistle blowing. That's crazy!!

FaceBiter don't be a Pillowbiter! It's awful there!

when factoring upgrade for said 'getting out'....this is the dumbest thing said about anything...ever...

Yes I was wondering what the hell he was talking about. If you wanna get in and out then you better find the lowest upgrade time. Durrrrr

The lowest upgrade time can change on a dime. When I went to RAH it was a 14 month upgrade...7 years later I finally upgraded.....glad to have escaped that place now, wishing the same for everyone else there. RAH has a great pilot group, but management makes that place unbearable.

That doesn't even make sense... I was there a year and a half, already thru my first AQP and 6 months or so before my next training event. I bailed for greener pastures, and hopefully a quick upgrade. (which happened)

If you live in base and can drive to work, the place is somewhat more bearable. I don't have a clue what seniority/movement in Indy looks like since I'm from California and try to avoid the place like my sanity depends on it. Indy is the one and only outstation that is ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED not to close with minimal notice a month after you sign a lease on an apartment. Just to reiterate, being able to drive to work will have an enormous impact on your quality of life. A one leg commute to reserve is terrible, a two leg commute will make your life unbearable. You may as well premptively dump any wife or girlfriend you may have because you'll only see them a few times every month.

I've been a commuter for my entire sentence here at BB's funhouse because I absolutely refuse to move anywhere for this company. Many of us have easily have 10 or more domiciles under our belts due to the constant opening and closing of domiciles. Yet our boss continually berates commuters because "it's a lifestyle choice". I'm going to just stop before I go into a multi-page tirade.

then why the e'f do you guys stay its like being able to untie your self from the whipping block and walk away but you rather stay and hope the beatings lessen. There are much better places than RAH.

You kinda get to a point where you seriously just don't giva a damn anymore and just go through the motions to just get each trip over with as expeditiously as possible. I personally have been working to just get out of aviation all together. Just not there yet. In the meantime, I still have to pay the mortgage and feed the kids. It's not a glamorous life, but I bite the bullet and drag myself off to work each day. Now please don't even think of accuse me of being willing to scab if Hell should freeze over and we walk. There are simply some things this wretched old soul will never do.
