Well how else will they bypass the need to pay people moving expenses? Open it as a reserve base, no one wants it, couple of people from the south will take it, get a little money, then next month it'll be up to 50 vacancies per seat. And lines. But now no one gets MER.


You all know that's why they're doing it. Let's not kid ourselves.

After a short browse on swol, I didn't find any info on medical leave of absence.

Any one able to point me in the right direction on info about the process? Not related to my medical cert and didn't want to ask chief pilot yet because it hasn't been confirmed, but I might schedule a shoulder surgery.

Can't help you with your question but have you looked at the September pairings for Boise? Very early show times with really late release times. They aren't commutable on either end for the most part.

Typical schedule for MX bases. Fine if you live there, or close enough drive, but not good for commuters.

I did have a look, unfortunately with the Sept./Oct. schedule reductions to the midwest it's making the commute from out West require many early trips in, next day trips home. If I could cut down the flight time, that would be a win for me. Fairly close to being based at home, maybe another month or two.

Soft Landing 2.0 IS APPROVED!

I hope this positive trend of pilots getting paid for their experience continues across our industry!
The 20-year pay scale that has plagued our industry for decades by restricting a free market for pilots is hopefully coming to an end everywhere!

Continues? Trans states, gojet and expressjet already all have this in place.

Once again "industry leading" is just a gimmick term with no reality behind it.
