I'm just finishing up IOE...I was given DTW....I was looking for some advice. I decided wherever I'm based I'm going to live instead of commute. I was thinking of putting in for a transfer to ORD. My end goal is Denver but I'm thinking that won't happen till at least February. So:

1) If I stay with DTW, does anyone know of crews living in Ann Arbor instead of Detroit or if there is a crash pad there? (Ann Arbor is about the same distance from airport as Detroit)

2) Should I choose ORD over DTW? Everyone says the flying is better in ORD, as someone who hasn't been on the line, what does that mean (better overnights, longer layovers etc)?

Any advice is much appreciated!
