ExpressPilot,

Thanks for the input. I certainly don't plan on telling them about commuting at the interview. I live around BWI, so hopefully a commute to EWR wont' be too bad. I guess it just depends on the timing of the flights as to how many nights I'll get at home.

Any word on how long new hires are spending on reserve in EWR? Assuming that I commute, do you have any idea whether a crashpad in Newark is easy to come by?

I'd love to get on with a regional that has a base in IAD or DCA, but Colgan has slowed hiring, AWAC may or may not resume hiring next month and I think the only other choice is Mesa...

Thanks again for the info! Good to know there's another Parrot Head out there in the ranks.
