Yeah..........and I live 35 minutes from Yosemite National Park, 20 minutes from Bass Lake, 30 minutes from snow skiing, 3 1/2 hours from my 'rents house and surfing (Santa Cruz), mountain biking in my back yard. In other words it's what you make it.

Cars....amazing machines. Maybe someday they will catch on with the pilot population.

It has, but it's usually a beater airport car.

...and every time I'd drive in this nasty ugly city, I'd be reminded of why the heck I am based there...

You could bid FAT and bid a more senior line, or you could go to SLC or worse PSP in the RJ and sit reserve forever. Your choice.

and with an attitude like that....you'll just be sooo welcomed in FAT, much less Skyw. (I looked at about 90% of all newhires have been going to FAT, so I wouldn't dog it too much.) Phat ain't all bad. I spent a year there, just transfered, and wished I was still there.

peace out to my phat bro's,
Mookie...

Nice attitude yourself. I never said I would disregard FAT as a temporary choice. Yes, commuting is certainly an option. Just remember that everyone's lifestyle is different, that's all. That is the reason why I started this thread, to get an idea of how senior the different domiciles are. My intention in starting this thread wwas not to start a debate on where to live.

I realize this medium sometimes leads to misinterpretion of people's comments due to the lack of facial expressions. Regardless, I do appreciate all your inputs!

The park they stayed at was like $7 a day with a free hot shower. One slepted in the back of the truck and the other in a small tent on the ground.

They weren't at Pismo were they? I "camped" out there one night in the back of my Jeep, parked right on the sand maybe 20 yds from the ocean. Nothing like the sounds of the ocean for a great night's sleep!

No, it was the little park thats just a few miles west of SBA.

Don't worry about Arcticflier, all the years in PSP cooked his melon. He really is a good guy.
