I hear Houston->Miami is not a tough commute for the AA guys, so perhaps central Florida to Houston would be a sustainable option once you can hold IAH at UA. What's your current commute situation? I hope for your sake you're not currently double commuting to airline and reserve job. I don't count driving when I say commuting btw. Good luck.
Leaving UAL is not an option, been here for about 18 months and enjoy it. I'm not necessarily anchored in FL (grew up in IA, wife from NE) but enjoy FL. We've considered DEN also to be near family. I live where my current military Reserve job is and currently double commute from VPS/PNS to DCA.
Have had a saved vacancy bid for IAH since I've joined UAL and am considering a switch to the 737 (current 320) once my seat freeze is up to get to IAH.
Just wondering what the commute is like from MCO since I could transfer Reserve jobs to Tampa and still stay in FL.
