If you're young and single, I suggest you don't limit yourself to those airlines that let you live where you would ideally like to be...When I made the jump over to SKW, I was leaving a lot, not the least of which was the drive to work and living somewhere I very much liked. Now I'm living in a Crashpad in a lousy City LoL. But I'm far happier - the flying, but most importantly, the Company, is a much better fit for me.
Coming from a nomad such as myself (LoL), think about the big picture. I can't say I agree with these guys that get on with Piedmont, Colgan, and the likes, just because they want to live at home. Different strokes, as the saying goes, of course, but see everything that's out there - and weigh it all equally when choosing an Airline.
