Even better news then!! Was told 90 days from a friend who started in August 2011.

The BEST news is the grill at the Residence is up and operational "use it just don't abuse it!!!!!!"

Cheers see y'all in MIA,

Cargo

S1-that sounds right too. I was probably distracted on my phone!

Cargo - there's a grill on the patio? I only remember (kind of) drinking on the patio - you trying to tell me there was food as well?!

I guess your diet consisted of barley and hops!

Isn't that a food group?

The 90 days for insurance was the old contract. I started Oct and it was the 1st of the month after the month you were hired.

Welcome aboard!

Yes it was 90 days in the old contract. Also remember if your coming from another job you have a cobra option for 90 days. You dont have to say yes or no to cobra coverage for 90 days. That way you only use it if you really need it. Free coverage for the gap.

FWIW, vacancy award published today has 50 posted New Hire openings on the 74, split almost even between HSV and ANC.

Excellent Whale Driver. Hope to get HSV right out of the gate... Cant wait to start.

Excellent! Sept interviewee here still staring at my phone.

With the constant change in schedules is there really any advantage (outside of living in base) to one domicile over another?

Now if I could only talk the wifey into moving to ANC...

I'm JFK based but rarely go to JFK so I aviod the tax issue. Plus if the trip has a deadhead to the plane the first day I'm deadheading on the company's time, not mine. Most MIA and HSV trips start and end in base so you'll have to travel the day before to position and LUX-HSV always gets into HSV too late to get out that night so you'll spend the night there.
