It's semantics, but Guamanians are United States Citizens, not Americans.

Americans are from America: the geographical areas of North, Central and South America.

Citizens of the United States of America are those who reside in the states of said Union and its territories/possessions.

Are you saying Hawaiians are not American?

Back on track with Guam flying please.
If you want to have a semantics dicussion about who is, or is not, American or any form of the word - start a new thread in Hangar Talk.

For commuters, there are some people with crashpads. To find out, talk to the base administrator, Therese and she might be able to point you in the right direction.

RE: company move. For those that might take the offer, does the company wave 18 months if filling a vacancy and pay the move back to the mainland? I'm sure there are those that are curious.

BTW, very informative post for those on furlough with interest in the upcoming job offers. Good on ya.

The company move shackle is only unlocked if you upgrade to captain. It is also pro-rated for each month you are out there.
