Shy,

I can understand why you wanted B6 being a NY guy. Hopefully you can get on somewhere that has a JFK, LGA or EWR base. Commuting west will be a PIA.

AS had a couple PA/NJ commuters. They were stuck in the jump out of EWR more often than not. AS isn't commuter friendly when it comes to building pairings/lines. That's evidence enough they give hiring preference to PNW/AK residents.
