​
Career Base and Current Location

Career Mode tracks both your base and your current location. They are not always the same thing.

​
Base

Your base is the airport your airline assigns you to. Base affects:
  • Career routing.
  • Dispatch options.
  • Company planning.
  • Relocation decisions.
  • Some cost and commuting logic.
You normally choose a base during onboarding or a job offer. You can also move base from My Company when the app allows it.

​
Current location

Your current location is where your pilot is right now. It can change after:
  • Completing a Career flight.
  • Taking a jumpseat.
  • Accepting certain assignments.
  • Relocating for reserve or a new contract.
Dispatch can care about current location because your pilot has to be physically positioned for work.

​
Why the difference matters

You can be based at one airport and located at another. Example:
  • Your base is KATL.
  • You finish a trip in KJFK.
  • Your current location is now KJFK.
  • The next assignment may require you to continue from KJFK or jumpseat back to base.
This makes Career Mode behave like a real roster instead of a loose route picker.

​
Moving base

Move Base changes your assigned company base. Before moving, review:
  • Available bases.
  • Cost.
  • Route network.
  • Employer fleet.
  • Your type ratings.
  • How the move affects future dispatch.
Moving base can cost money. Do not move unless it helps your long-term plan.

​
Jumpseat

Jumpseat moves your current location without logging a flown Career assignment. Use Jumpseat when you need to:
  • Return to base.
  • Reach an assignment origin.
  • Handle reserve relocation.
  • Position for a new contract.
For the full guide, see Career Jumpseat.

​
Commuting and away-from-base cost

Being away from base can create costs. Examples:
  • Commuting.
  • Lodging.
  • Transportation.
  • Relocation.
Those costs appear in Career Finance when they apply. For finance details, see Career Payroll and Ledger.

​
Common mistakes

  • Assuming base and current location are always the same.
  • Moving base without checking cost.
  • Forgetting to jumpseat before an assignment.
  • Looking for routes from base when your current location is somewhere else.
  • Ignoring relocation requirements on reserve or job offers.
