If you live in the ORF region you could do a lot worse than come to ZW. Commuting in and out of ORF is horrible so you probably just want to be at ZW and drive to work.
Unless you're offered a job at a major first, and ZW calls you and offers you a job, I'd go with ZW over other regionals at this point.
The contract is decent and the commute in and out of ORF being what it is makes this an easy decision.
saab2000, would you mind expanding on your comments about the ORF commute? We are seriously considering moving to the ORF area after I leave the Navy, and while I plan to apply to Air Wisconsin, I'll hopefully be working for a larger carrier sooner than later. Any experience commuting to ATL, CLT, or NYC?
