I still am fuming over the 727 bump in 2001!

Good luck getting a TX base in 3 years with AA or SWA. If this crumbles your world you might want to just get out of aviation all together.
Says someone displaced 6 times so far in my career. I live where I want and hold what I can where I can. yes I commute but then again displacements don't affect me as bad as someone who lives local.
This too shall pass. It will be ok...

I'm in no way suggesting he/she should make an airline switch and presume it was more than likely an emotional post. I can't speak for AA, but at SWA, I just wanted to point out that the most junior hire in HOU and DAL started training a little over 2 months ago, which is a far cry from the 3 years you suggest. HOU in particular has actually become one of our most junior bases as it stands now.

Never ever ever move to a base unless you really want to live there. Economy changes, fleet changes etc, I've heard these guys my whole career frightened to death by commuting and preaching "move to a base". I've had 18 years in one house, kids at great schools with lifetime friendships. Live where your happy and sit back and watch them shuffle the sh$t around....

No worries. Outside of ATL, the junior domiciles over here have been fairly dynamic the last couple years. When I was hired, MCO was "years" away. Now people are getting it straight out of training. Cheers.

To those who complain about property tax, good don't come down here and pollute TX. I moved down here from McHenry County IL and the property tax bill was within $1k of what I payed there. But I have a nicer house, pay MUCH less for everything from milk to gas and 0 state tax.
Those state tax people will really be screaming when the republicans take that deduction away from federal taxes as per the Trump plan! We won't be subsidizing your broke ass states anymore lol.

I bid off the 3 holer in early 2001 to fifi; I departed the fix for several years from fifi.Oil took a major dump today; US inventories showed a 3.3M Bbl build when the markets were expecting a 3.5M Bbl draw ... a delta of 6.8M Bbl. A buildup in inventories at the start of peak demand season surprised me, especially with all of the OPEC/nonOPEC production cuts.
It must be all those United FOs buying shiny new Tesla Ss and Xs.
