I drink beer now!

We just got our bases yesterday. Since we got the left over from this perm bid it sucked. 14 went EWR 2 went CLE. About 9 wanted IAH. We are activated on AUG 30. We should be back in IAH by OCT 1. According to the forcast, they have 48 in June Start classes, 32 in July start classes then as of AUG. 16 a month through December. But we heard there will be an announcement made to XJT ALPA on the 21.

-umm, no. Walking in a resume does ZERO good. Just be patient and wait. If you have the minimums, you will probably get called if they need you. It took me 5 weeks before I heard anything.

hey buddy. i haven't seen you out on the line yet. are you going to EWR before heading down to IAH? take it easy. CS.

 

[psysicx]

So how long are upgrades running?

 

[BeachBummer]

everyone is pretty much set on the 24mo. program right now +-4 depending on how lucky/lazy you are.

Then get furloughed like the TSA boys and girl with 400 hrs out on the street. Without a prayer to get anything else. (not even the rubber dog crap job in Hong Kong) Wise up sir! Get off the cool- aid, and if people need to spend 28 G's on not a rating come and see me. I'll help you spend that money.

Hey now, that stuff keeps food on my table!

Hey, enjoy your time in EWR...Go spend some time in NYC, enjoy the flying and the fun crews.
Cause when you get to IAH.......it's gonna be you and Capt. Grandpa and grandma bumming around the middle of texas.

UUUH.... I would not trade my EWR crews for the world. BUT... Houston has us beat as far as the flight attendants are concerned. BY FAR!!!!!!!

 

[Superpilot92]

I have been EWR and IAH based and to be honest i have just as much fun in Iah as i did in EWR. The crews are great in all bases. We have a good group here.

You got a thing for dudes and old ladies, huh? Not that there's anything wrong with that..........

How come is it then that everytime I am walking down the hall to one of the B term pods and I smile or say hello to a comrade walking the other way, he/she generally doesnt even acknowledge my existence or friendly gesture? It seems that there is just a different mentality down in IAH...

Somebody once told me, and I think it might be true:

IAH= guys/gals who sit in the front of the class, raise their hand for every question, and tell on those who sneak into class late

CLE= guys/gals who try really hard but just dont have a clue most of the time

EWR= we sit in the back, throw spitballs, yet still ace the tests

But, overall, yes, alot of great and proud people here. Lets hope management has a long term plan for this company beyond an "Indy Air" model....

 

[Palomino]

i've flown all 3 places. there is no difference.

the 'EWR is cooler myth' is nothing more than that - a myth

all 3 bases are full of good people with a handful of meatheads thrown in for equilibrium.

Actually its more like:

IAH: Graduate School
CLE: Special Ed
EWR: Romper Room

Absolutely true. I've been based at all three also, two as CA.

 

[Hypoxik]

Well I guess, I will get to enjoy flying out of both bases.
