Go to Hawaii in a dump truck, or Tulsa in a Cadillac. Flown them both many k hours. Pick your poison.

By the time you get your ratings (and experience) the landscape will have changed so any "answers" here are completely meaningless. (We'll proabbly be talking about upgrade times on the CS300 in MCO.)

I wish you continued good fortune in your endeavor.

So this guy isnt even a pilot?

This.

All other considerations should be WAY down on the list.

Unless you know what couple of switches to look for, 320 vs 319 are almost imperceptible. Couple of very minor systems differences.

Well, that, and they made the 319 landing gear about 1 foot too long

Ok, so the pop up blocker is the key.

Thanks.

I couldn't figure out why the stuff was so hard to get to.

I have been looking at open trips in real time shopping, but that is really not indicative of the entire BES. Likely, just the trash trips.

My guess is that the homogenization factor sort of dilutes the seniority a bit. Number 20, probably has a similar schedule to number 60.

1. What do you typically fly a month, hours wise. Hard time and soft time.

2. How many days off per month?

3. Do you like the schedules? What do you like, what do you not like?

4. fly many red-eyes?

Thanks for any opinions on the base, mission, and flying
