I know the answer I'll get from guys behind me in the pool, but for anyone with good advice, here goes...
I'm currently #152 on our unofficial pool list. Been working as a reserve bum (over a year, now) and making an OK living with no family benefits. I just got offered a 1 year reserve mobilization (Dec02-Dec03) so full pay and full benefits for the entire year. Based on everything I've read and heard about this year and next, I'm scared to do it for fear of losing seniority but leaning toward doing it for short term security and adding some value to my reserve pension. What do you think? What would you do if given this opportunity with SWA (my dream job) hanging in the balance.
I do intend to call the People Department to see how it would affect my job offer and position within the pool. My guess is my position would remain in the pool but they just won't call me until my new availablity date comes up.
Good Luck All,
