He spent a long time on reserve.

I talked to his sim partner the day it happened.
SkyWest offered me a job but I am dreading the commute out of Jacksonville, Florida. Which base is the most junior base and how long is the average wait time to change bases??

I flew with a CA who commutes out of St Pete to ORD. You'll get that or MSP. I would avoid IAH, its a tough commute from FL. You'll get few days off and work lots. If you want to fly asap, work for a decent company (as far as regionals go) and get out asap then do it. If you want to be home lots and have an easy commute don't come here. Better yet, do what KFahmi used to do :P
