You'll always swap on last leg ad fly down a broke Pos. Otherwise nope. Small bases are great everyone knows each other

What do I need to know about COS? I've seen that there can be early days and late nights and I'm not too worried about that for now. Any other pros/cons regarding COS I need to consider? Thanks

I was in COS for a month. I liked it. Small base, easy access. Not sure how it is now but when I was there a couple years ago we had a lot of 2 and 3 day trips, very few 4 day. Trips did start early and end late. I drove down from Parker and ended up going straight down 83 most of the time. Again, I was only there for a month...

I'm guessing you're in DTW?

Dang, that's what I've been hearing. I picked the ERJ after the CJO but they couldn't get me into a class until December which seemed like an eternity to me at the time so I switched my choice to the CRJ.

I was COS based for a month. Your trips start and end in COS. You get to do DEN flying, ORD flying, SLC flying, IAH flying (or you used to), etc. So you get to see a wide variety of flying.

We lose all ual 700s except the ase/ege/guc/jac stuff.

There was a meeting in sgu in the lady 2 weeks but it's all confidential at this point. But don't worry, ase ain't going nowhere.
