Frontier FLL Commuters

Timing is everything

As we all know, timing is everything. Someone hired at the start of this hiring wave (as it sounds like Sluggo was) will likely be off reserve in just a few months if the company maintains it's hiring schedule. Some people here have spent just one month on Reserve, so it's not always bad. I was fortunate in this regard too, I suppose.

Animaltale,

You wrote: "You should not be on reserve for more than a couple months..."

Please don't give out false info to the new guys. I've been on reserve for almost 18 months and I expect a few more. Where on earth do you get 2 months from??

I believe AnimalTale is right for the latest classes - I've been on reserve the same amount of time, but I think the people coming through now won't be on reserve more than a couple of months due to the number of classes planned...timing is everything for you and me...

What my point is what FLL is even worse.

In the last few years, SoFL is has gotten WAY, WAY out of line. You want something on the water? You start north of $1 million for a shack only fit for demolition. You want a nice 1800 sq ft 3/2 built in 1961, somewhere other than the swamp, and you are going to pay $500-600k with property tax that will more that eat up any savings that no income tax provides.

BTW, I'm a native of SoFL, so I can say whatever I want about it. I've earned that right.

This is what I tell folks when they ask why I still have a house near Tucson and my work is in FL. It isn't worth it to me to sell the place and buy one in FL. Renting an apartment is far cheaper and I'm not there all that much anyway.

I also have the same notions about SoCal as you do about FL as I was a native there and lived there the first 35 years of my life.
