Guam Based Pilots

Is there anyone on here who fly's for United on Guam or know someone that does who may be willing to have his brain picked by me?
Thanks

I am currently on Guam for a couple of months for military duty and on leave from United. I am considering moving out here in the future when/if vacancies open up. Looking for any info from the guys local out here on places to live, sailing, diving, activities and schools for the kids etc. I also need to get my medical renewed by the end of July. Any recommendations for an AME on island. Thanks

Is it possible to hold guam base right after training? If not, and probably it's considered a senior base, how long before someone can actually bid for it?

Thanks

Not currently, the base is shrinking right now. The last newhires that were assigned GUM was about 3 years ago.

A long time ago it was 1/3 lifers, 1/3 volunteers trying it out, and 1/3 new hires and non volunteers. When the pilot group more than doubled in size that bottom third designation disappeared.

It is 2nd year pay for new hires plus the $3k/mo COLA so it was a heck of a deal for some. I spent some days there on a typhoon evac from Okinawa. Love it or hate it, "there ain't no neutral ground" (Dylan).
