Just to pile on what othrs have said. I would absolutely NOT even consider for a microsecond moving anywhere, epecially anywhere NYC, unless you really want to live there. Moving for a new hire assignment during a period of significant hiring is not something I would do. Any of the planes you could get on day one have other bases that you will easily be able to hold within your first year except possibly a few ER pilots depending on what happens with that fleet. But even then you only have a one year lock. Any other plane and you could likely get a very quick (almost instant) base change if you wanted to.

Not to mention most NY "locals" are also commuters if you take into account their drive times, tolls, potholes, traffic, tickets and all that, not to mention the insane and completely unjustified cost of living for that dump of an area. No offense.
