Have you considered CommutAir? Great people, small company, and we are growing rapidly. We are tripling in size in the next two years and many management positions will be open as a result. Many of these management positions are available in CLE, which could be a great drive to work. It looks better on your resume than jet time.

When you transition to United through the CPP or get hired directly, the junior base is EWR. It wouldn't be a far commute from CLE. Unfortunately, CLE is a senior base for United.
