The pilot's choice, not the airline.....
Bloom:
You are so wrong, so out of line with this comment that I can't post my thoughts. You are as bad, no worse, than the gentleman in question. STFU.
Well said, Bloom.
Yes, if airlines did not change your base every other year, and refuse to pay any relocation, let alone care about children's education; or go bust with regular monotony, or only employ contract pilots for a season - one might be able to settle and put down a few roots.
But who is going to move to a new location for a flea-bitten outfit that might not last two years and will only order you to move to a new base next year anyway?
