My attitude was to stay loose. I started applying when I was living in Florida and already had plans to relocate to DFW. In my cover letter I specifically stated I was willing to relocate.

I took another flying job initially in DFW until I got hired at Boutique. When I was hired the only base open was ATL. I took it, and bid DFW before I even took my check ride. Two months later I was flying out of DFW.
