| Re: Where would you want to be based Hello Mike, Is anything still going on in Nakhon Phanom & Long Tien? I was in NHa Trang a few years back. It's still a busy place, but, of course, there's no longer any US military presence there. Thanks, JR |

| Re: Where would you want to be based Hello Lloyd, Realisticly, as long as my parents are in SoCal, I'd like to be based at OAK, SFO, LAX, SNA, BUR, RIV, SAN, etc. but I'd always be a bit worried of what'll happen to Ops once the big quake strikes in NorCal or SoCal. Sooner or later, something big is gonna happen. Regards, JR |

| Re: Where would you want to be based MRY, SJC, or maybe SFO. Big quake? I'd take one any day over that nasty weather they get on the east coast. Life will go on. Look at Alaska. They rebuild and keep livin' in the same area. |

| Re: Where would you want to be based gosh, I must be the only germanophile here.... EDFM (Mannheim City) for me, or EDDF (Frankfurt/Main) Mannheim is one of those cool airports in germany where you land, hop out of the plane, and enjoy a Kaffee on the terrace 20 feet from the plane... |

| Re: Where would you want to be based [ QUOTE ] gosh, I must be the only germanophile here.... EDFM (Mannheim City) for me, or EDDF (Frankfurt/Main) [/ QUOTE ] Actually, no. I'd LOVE to fly in Germany. I've been hitting the German immersion CDs and a textbook I bought on Ebay. Wanted to learn German for years. It's a pain in the ass to get FAA ratings flipped to JAA, and I'm still not sure on the hoops to go through for EU citizenship. |

Nice guys, but a pain in the ass when you have an IFE, and they're your chase plane.....trying to understand what the heck they're trying to tell you! The US/German fistfight at the O-Club a few weeks ago certainly didn't help matters.......... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

[/ QUOTE ] No. In fact, I'm on round-two of being based in ATL and it's KILLING me. Rumor has it that the MD-90's are going to form a small SLC base because of the closure of DFW and if I can hold a line, I'm going to be on that like stink on S---! |

| Re: Where would you want to be based Bill's escaped the 'ATL Curse' so far. He was NYC 727FE as a new-hire, and got CVG soon after and has never left CVG. However, with the schedules the way they are he flies out of ATL just about every other leg! |

If I didn't have international or transcon to look forward to, I'd have left and gone to real estate school already or dove deeper into the whole dot.com thing. |
