You must be so thrilled that now he might be gone for just 4 days. Dh has commutable 4 days trips next months and I'm so excited he will gone only 4 days. 
DH is saying Skywest is thinking about opening at Kansas City base. He hopes they do b/c it would be so much easier for him to get there than ORD. Would your DH go there too if they opened that base? I also like that idea b/c he would be flying Midwest Express and would be forced to get the hat and blazer jacket. I love the hat and blazer on him, but he hasn't had to wear either of them in years (hasn't bought them w/ skywest and didn't have to wear them his last year at ACA/Independence). To get to see him in the hat and blazer again.....mmmm, Yummy!  |
Wow girl you and I have the same taste! I've been after Jarred to get the hat all along!
We've talked about Kansas City but there is a question of how our flight benefits would change. If I'm going to lose benefits or status, I'm not interested. My whole family is in Upstate NY and the flight benefits are really inportant to me. The other question would be because it will be such a small base, what would his senority be like with only a year in? Would he wind up with all the crappy trips?
I do need to qualify that DH had the opportunity to go to SLC several months ago but we decided to turn it down for a couple of reasons. The main thing was senority. No one seems to want Palm Springs so he was/is getting pretty good trips. Additionally, we stumbled into a pretty great crash pad opportunity -in a house, $20 a nite only when he needed it, nice owner, etc. So we decided to stay with the Devil we knew so to speak. It has been tough, but I've survived and I guess I can take comfort that it won't get any worse...right? LOL
I have to say, your red-headed wonders are beautiful. Jason's hair was a definate surprise. Are you a red head?
