I take it I would have to commute to another base for awhile, but if it's longer than a year I'd prefer to just stay where I am. That's the only thing that has kept me from applying thus far. Thanks again all for the info in this thread...it's been very helpful.

check your PM please

Junior FO in both PIE and IND is 08/2017 hire date. IND just opened today, so it is hard to tell how senior it will go. IND is smaller, but is rumored to be growing quickly.

I heard a rumor that we lost the Apple contract in CVG (F9 outbid us?). Wondering how that will affect the base.

I was told by a PIT crew that Apple doesn't like being in the charter business. They have to buy all the seats and it ends up being more risk for them if the flights aren't full.

They prefer to be the travel agent and I was told that G4 would take over the routes 100% with the guarantee that Apple would fill the seats.

We'll see. But I haven't heard anything about being bid out by F9.

Thanks!

I wouldn't be surprised if the IND base is expanded, I have heard they have added something like 5 or 6 routes from there in the past year.....

Have they said how big they want IND to be?
Seems like a solid mid west crew base would be very beneficial.
