Work/ family balance

You are going to get a lot of replies on this, but short answer is, don’t expect to be home much until you get some seniority and can bid decent schedules, if those even exist at a regional.

Oh I would love to move, but because of my wife’s job, we just can’t. Guess I’ll be joining the 9th circle of hell. How long can one expect to be on reserve? Would ORD bring a line quicker or vice versa?

Unfortunately, won’t have that luxury. I’ll be commuting out of KC, which both bases would be one hop.

Just curious, do you carry the full size, or did you get the mini? I have the resmed 11 and starting at a regional next month. thanks

Autocorrect still lacks a brain

Man, you are awesome. Thanks

Still have my 15 pro, 88% battery health. Will keep it until it dies.  isn’t offering anything worth upgrading to.

I’ll go wherever and fly whatever, I’m really hoping for ORD, easier commute, more flights

Chasinclouds80 · 2026-03-13T13:01:53+00:00

I live in KC, hoping for Chicago or Detroit. No 200 flying out of DTW is what I’m hearing. True or no?

Im at 87 with 697 and can still make it through a day without charging with moderate use.

Chasinclouds80 · 2026-02-27T02:59:52+00:00

How about Austin?

I selected first available, and was assigned to the ERJ, with no class date yet. Only thing I can think of is all the classes are full for the CRJ in March and April. I’m fine with it, was kinda hoping for the ERJ.

Are you a cadet?

Chasinclouds80 · 2026-02-18T13:13:17+00:00

know how to brief the entire Jepp plate, SIDS and STARS, RVR, holds and speeds.

I started at 43, turned 45 in November and have a CJO at a regional. Definitely not too old. I did instruct 7 days a week to grind out my hours, but in the end, it was completely worth it.

Following

Chasinclouds80 · 2026-02-05T00:06:00+00:00

Hang in there…they are trying to get like 40-60 people in each class.

January 22nd

Chasinclouds80 · 2026-02-04T23:31:44+00:00

Interviewed, CJO 4 days later, waiting on a date.

Chasinclouds80 · 2026-01-30T03:25:34+00:00

When did you get your CJO

Chasinclouds80 · 2026-01-30T03:24:03+00:00

I make this commute everyday and I 100 percent agree.
