When the OP gets there he might not need TPIC... UAL is hiring CFI's right now.

But he can upgrade, and go east for a while to get TPIC if needed. If he gets stuck, he can wait it out, or take a downgrade to get back home again.

Not commuting is good. Not getting stuck in a permanent long-range commute situation is priceless.

Or you can take your chances and follow the money. Everyone has to make their own decisions.
