A couple years in Guam (even on reserve)...bearable.
To already be on the seniority list as United starts hiring big in the next few years...PRICELESS.

Heard a new hire on the van at TK recently talking about how he could have come over to CAL in '06...."But they were sending new hires to GUM at the time, so I passed". Well yes, they probably sent 20 of the 500 new hires that year to GUM. But you know what?.... Odds were pretty slim you'd go if you didn't want it....and....he'd now be holding CA or widebody FO in 12 year pay....instead of having spent the past 12 years flying E-145s. 12 extra years flying an RJ, because he didn't want the remote possibility of having to go to GUM.
Two years assignment in GUM? Make the most of it. Enjoy the flying, see a new part of the world. Stay a few extra years in RJ land to avoid it? Nope.

2006? Hell, I'd be swinging his gear with my DOH.

For all you major airline hopefuls out here, here is a perfect example of the seniority system. The NH pilot “passed” getting hired in 2006 and now 12 years later he’s got his dream job.
Well those 12 years equal how many numbers and dollars lost?
Moral of the story, don’t “pass” on an offer (of course the NH’s comment probably means he may have actually been “passed” up after his 2006 interview).
BTW my first base assignment was a Cleveland “crazy” and it wasn’t too bad. Money went a lot further in CLE than many other bases.

There are a few out there that act that way...
