Just be glad you're not on the old AA service (LAX-XNA on a tiny regional jet).

Fairly low - you can get a book or a Borsheim's receipt autographed very early Saturday morning.

You flew HOU-DAL-TUL and then drove to XNA? I'm impressed (but not surprised)!

I'd gladly take the job and chance to move to Houston (yes, ALCO, you read that right!), but the pay at CO Corporate is far from competitive. :(

IT is outsourced to EDS who pays better......but is mostly remote.

You are suppose to ignore the money and focus on the benefits of free or almost free flights, cheaper housing and being part of the 40,000 best employees in the world.

Most of the EDS people I speak with are in Miami, the other foreign country. ;)

The "free or almost free flights" part is very tempting... ;)

That's what keeps most of us around forever.

Not surprised, they have a large building there outside Miami. By remote i did not mean international exactly, just not on site in the smith st offices or at the stations :)

I know they have a couple that are traveling between stations for IT work, but I do not know if they are direct CO staff or EDS outsourced but working hands on.

Is the NetJets display worth going for? That's the big draw for me, since my market knowledge and the high investing IQ of the average attendee would make me feel like I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks.
