Some questions at the top of my head I can think of: Do most of the trips originate in IAD? How is the trip mix in the different aircraft categories, are you happy with the pairings?

As for living in Virginia, I'm willing to drive up to an hour and want to be more in the country in a smaller community as opposed to the city. Any recommendations on areas good for families? (i.e. Good community, schools, healthcare, family activities?)

Thank you for your time and help!
