I can always use LGA as a back up plan, but for some reason I'm dreading the commute to NYC al lot more than BOS...
The good news is JFK/BOS are the most junior bases. You can try one and swap to the other if the commute doesn't work out. I was originally JFK based and it took about 8months before I was flying trips out of BOS. It all depends on when you are hired in relation to our System Bids (allows you to switch bases). The bids come out the 1st week of March, June, September, December and as long as you start class by the time it comes out then you can bid and move bases. Typically there is a 2-3month delay after the bid before you actually start in the new base. Good luck to all!
