The commute is actually easier to MIA than DFW or ORD because there aren't as many commuters and even if it is full it's all 757s and widebodies so the jumpseat is actually better than a middle seat in the back. As the ATR retires the MIA and SJU guys will go to MIA EMJ.
The same weather, you mean 95 and 95% humidity 180 days a year....and 85 and 90% humidity 90 days a year, and 75 and 85% humidity 90 days a year......yea I see 25% in common.
The only thing I see the same, is the traffic, and lack of driving skills.
I welcome anyone who wants to come here, but trans-cons commutes, and moving to S. FL because it sounds like LA, is nothing but a pipe dream.
Also considering almost all the airplanes are going to MIA, I can bet that MIA will be the bulk of the upcoming new hire classes.
