...speaking of commuting to reserve... I have a burning question (whose answer may likely change in time).
For a potential new hire who would be living in the DFW area, are there any concerns about initial base/equipment choice and related commutes to those reserve/junior lines? For example, is DFW-MIA better than DFW-LAX in terms of number of flights or density of commuters and the like?
I ask because I know that DFW is relatively senior as far as new hires go (at least a year to pickup RSV on 737s or 32Xs -- and more for a line). I want to believe that a commute from DFW to any other domicile is relatively easy... but what if some are harder than others?
Of course, this all assumes that one has a choice in the matter when crunch time arrives...
