RAH was my top choice, but it only really works for me as an FO, as a CA I would be stuck commuting to LGA.
If I were you I would consider interviewing soon, your CJO would be good for 6 months and most companies I've talked to have been flexible on the class date. It's slower in winter anyway, so maybe you shorten your reserve time by starting in march.
Appreciate the help! I need to do some financial planning and thinking about this. The initial huge pay cut from my current position will be hard to swallow, but the long term benefits of going back to 121 may outweigh the short term hurt
