Holy crap, ya mean there are other NLU guys on here?? I made it outta there in 1990.

Holy crap I was in 10th grade in 1990. You may have lived in Olin 3 years before I arrived in room 711 in Aug. 1993.

Eagle has a BOS base. Don't know how easy it is to get it.

Coming from a Mair Inc. company, I don't trust them any farther than I can throw Paul Foley. I also recommend you stay away from companies with training contracts.

Good Luck

Eagle is letting you pick your domicle before you go to training, so I'd say BOS would be pretty easy to get. I think they want 800/100 though....

Anyone have any ideas on time building up in the boston area?

That contract to reduce the 1900 pay for Big Sky Captains didn't go through, has been, basically, dropped. Big Sky Captains are still on the best 1900 pay.

BOS is currently Big Sky's "main baby", and they are throwing everything at it to satisfy Delta and make money. New lines opening every couple weeks, and still hiring.

Can a new hire hold BIL?

So i got a call from them 2 months ago, offering $2500 bonus and second year pay (31.60). 10 days off a month. Then it hit me that my FO seat on the CRJ was not bad. I live in base have more days off, and more pay. Plus an FMS and a Autopilot.
