I like your style. Do a lot of senior guys bid reserve in Denver in hopes they won't be called very often?

I see some senior guys on the RSV list, but not many. Mostly it's just us bottom feeders. It takes a special lack of discipline to be a slacker

Don't move, live where you want, if you move you will inevitably be furloughed displaced or forced to bid equipment you don't want, live where it makes you happy, enjoy your home time!!

Looks like some unfilled vacancies on the latest snapshot in ORD.

New hires may get ORD right out of class pretty soon.

There should be lots of movement everywhere BUT Denver it seems, which is good for the masses. Just sucks for lual guys stuck out of base or stuck in the right seat in Denver while junior guys drive to work as den Caps based on bumps and the sli game/transition games played.

I feel bad for those who are stuck out of base while life (kids ballgames, recitals, etc.) is happening. What a messy merger.
