Depending on what fleet you are on, NYC has some unique issues. On the 73, we cover all three airports (LGA, JFK, EWR). It's hard to find a crash pad thats convenient to all three airports. LGA to JFK isn't bad, but LGA/JFK to EWR is a huge level of suck. It's close to three hours on the airporter bus, or a $100+ cab/Uber ride.
The first flight from DFW won't get you to the NYC area before 11:00, and the last flight home leaves LGA at 20:00 (EWR is 18:10). There is no redeye option either way.

On the plus side DFW-LGA is all airbus, so there are two jump seats.

We have pretty much decided moving somewhere thats an easier commute, or drivable is the best option.
