Wow, very polite and balanced responses. Is this really APC? lol.

EWR is super convenient, but I've done the drive to LGA/JFK and it's actually easy when there's no traffic. There would be no "commuting" in any case, I refuse to be a commuter.

I do plan to have at least 6 months total time here before leaving, if I did leave.

Another option I have: I have a friend at Frontier who can give me a silver bullet when I reach 1500 turbine. But I could also go there from another regional.

I'm also looking at that bonus money though. Especially at Envoy and Endeavor, that's a lot of cash up front to say no to.
