ILG is a mx base. However, it is within 100 miles of IAD, therefore you should be able to live there and be part of the Washington base.

The domicile policy is still being defined so that it gets done right the first time and doesn't need to be rewritten in 2 years. The intent is to establish policy that takes care of the company's needs, while at the same time not being so rigid that it requires a potential pilot to relocate because he lives 100.5 miles from our domicile. (policy tentatively states 100 as the max)

Keep in mind, if you're willing to work the double schedule (15 on, 13 off) you can live just about anywhere you want as long as it's near an airport with reasonable service by multiple carriers. Those Tier 2 domiciles are added to the list on a case by case basis.

Do they airline you out or are the planes domiciled? I live in OMA.

Thanks

If OMA got approved as a Tier 2 domicile (15/13 schedule), they'll airline you where ever they need you.

I figure you'd have no response.

He just likes starting sh!t Whale.

Does he need to respond? 8/6, compared with 7/7, sucks.

When you're done crying, can you tell me why?

Whale Rider,

You mean to tell me that he didn't convince you of the virtues of the 7/7 schedule over 8/6 with his articulate, well thought out response? :laugh:

Because one more day at work and one less day at home sucks. That's why. Is it that hard to figure out? 7/7 sucks compared to 6/8. As soon as you find a frac with that sked, let me know.

 

[imacdog]

How am I supposed to explain that being at work more sucks? I guess if you like working more than spending time with your friends and family, then have at it. What's the difference at the end of a year, about 26 extra days at work?

I'm with you guys. Schedule and family time is key to my quality of life. 7/7 is better and it is obvious. I only wish I had a 7/7 or some resemblance of a schedule.

Nothing comes for free buddy boy! You got to work for it. Trying to work less to get paid more just puts companies in the drink! Thats what would really suck!

I wonder how fast you'd agree if you were on the street with no job???? I bet 8/6 would suit you just fine???

You'd be a lot happier if you concentrated on the great things in our business instead of things that suck! You'd be a lot happier at home too!
