Great information, thanks. Living in DEN only 15 min from TK right now which is why it's so intriguing to me. I admittedly do have a lot of hobbies and side gigs outside of work so looking to optimize QOL for sure....I do have the passion for teaching but we'll have to see. Thanks for the info

I'm going to guess if TUMI2.0 continues to drag on there's going to be a good sized flow out of the building after vacation selection also.

The only benefit as a commuter for TK is that all your currency fly days (30 NB, 36 WB) are based out of DEN. So if you pick up a trip from EWR, for example, that is a EWR turn, they have to build a DH DEN-EWR_____EWR-DEN, and those DH’s count as fly days. So a commuter can turn 1 day of flying into 3 fly days.
That’s the only benefit I can think of as a commuter. Cons are you’re commuting to a job that allows you to be home every night for local pilots. To me that doesn’t seem worth it but to each his own

You can commute, but hotels and commuting are on you.

Ask some of the near-new hire TK instructors how their schedules are. My understanding is that they can be pretty rough.

This is why there has been an exodus leaving in last year or 2, and without a new contract in next couple of months I expect that exodus to continue or even grow.

Kinda hijacking this thread but It pertains to TK intstructing.
Is is possible to put a paper bid in for a different Seat/Plane while in TK? IE: 767 PI bids for 737 CA, still intends to teach for the time being.
Does it have any benefit/cons to do so?

yes, that’s how it works. You have a “paper bid”. That’s where you would go if you quit or get fired from TK.
