Default Re: Starcheckers, a question

No matter where you are based - the company wants you at your base 10 hours prior to check-in time. There's really no way they can check on that or enforce it, but if you don't make your departure it's your ass.

I know there are floaters who commute. The travel to and from is on them.

i am not that tied, but for my wife getting a job in another state, even though most places are hiring Special Ed. teachers, it not easy. she needs to take tests and apply for licenses for each state. plus leaving a job every year or so to move doesn't look good on her resume. if i was single it would be very very easy, but i am not.
I hear ya brother. To move up in this company, you almost always have to move. If you have a jet at your base you can hold out for that slot, but if not (like me) you'd have to move to change seats. Can be tough for us married folks. That's the life, and as long as you know it coming in you'll be fine.

The good news is, the company pays for moves to a new seat position (to include lease breaking/ closing costs, etc.)
