What base? AWAC
Base in Philly? Or commute to DCA, or live in DCA? ORF and LGA are out, not interested. I feel I have sort of an idea but would like to hear other people opinions on the matter. It wont be the major decision and yes, I know it comes down to what I want and all that jazz, but just would like to hear what others say. Obvious AWAC new hire

Don't commute. I live in Northern VA, and although it's expensive, its worth living within driving distance to your base. If you're single, I'm sure you could find something affordable SOMEWHERE. If you have a family and require a house, well, that might get pricy. I used to live in Annapolis, MD and even that drive was only about 50 minutes and doable. If you decide to live near DC, there is plenty to do when you're not working. DCA crew rooms leave something to be desired. I tend to check in for my trips, and then relax outside the crew rooms just to avoid the dungeons. All in all, so far so good for me at DCA. I'm sure that is based solely on the fact that I don't have to commute in. Welcome aboard.

Gold jackets, green jackets, who gives a $h!t
Not trying to steal your thread here, but if someone could quickly point out to me the necessity of living within driving distance of your base? I am interested in AWAC and would say they are my top choice of regional once I reach my ATP mins. I'm from upstate NY and see they have a crew domicile in LGA. What would be the issue with living upstate and hopping on a jump seat down to LGA every day? Is it not as simple as I have I see it?
Also, Prex, why have you ruled out LGA?
Thanks.
