1 you work all the time if you hold days nights are horrible
2 Deep south Brazil Argentina/ south central Sjo Gye and so . Always the same never changes
3 company may assign you Miami otherwise it's hard to come by.
4 Junior capt 18 yrs..Most senior base by far with the worst flying....Btw we have our own version of the contract that exclude us from the special crowd in SDF so choose wisely.

I’m guessing it’s not as bad as the last guy is whining about.

I know at least 40 pilots who live in Florida and will not bid the MIA base. It's not good. I think brownie was being nice.

I only live an hour away from MIA and would rather commute to SDF due to the seniority and schedules in MIA.

I would say it is not that hard to get into as a FO, but then it is a slow crawl up the list from there. As stated, one of the most senior Captain bases.

Depending on what lifestyle you are looking for Miami can suck or be rather good, just like everywhere I guess.

If it really is an 18 year upgrade... That's a long time to be the plug in the left seat! The average hire there only has 27 years left until they hit 65!

What are the main differences between Sdf and Mia with the contract?

Scheduling articles. Way too complex and long to elaborate but in short Miami does flying that be considered inhumane in SDF standard..Just dont bid Miami if you have a choice and if you do dont be crying and complaining how suck things are.
Cheers.
