Yes there is a base there and has been since Oct of last year.
Are you interested? If so, apply and request it cos you'll more than likely get where you want. Eastern really good in that respect.
I'/ve worked with them for 4 years and i asure you that you'll be looked after. Apart from allowing for sickness and hols you'll remain at your base, unless you ask that you like to move around. I don't advise that, lol.
I think its 12.5k basic start these days, plus 1.25 duty, this is yet to change I hear.
I have worked for other airlines and if you choose Eastern, it is a close communty. The grass isn't always greener, but it is on this side. Offering pax Bubbles and free Bevs is rewarding ( especially when you see the response) which you don't with any other airline these days (its mostly suits).
It is an established company now with nearly 30 a/c, mostly 41's which you might get used to. Saab is great though.
I hope thats enough for you.
Good Luck if your're looking into Eastern.
