3. Those that Envoy really is the best choice. There are not many that I imagine would fit into this but you never know.
#3 is what I am struggling with. DFW is the only one-leg commute from where I live (or a 1.5 hour drive) and so its ENY, SKYW and Mesa....all three of which I have apps in. I would like to interview with all 3, really. Mesa is a clear #3 right now of those listed. Even IAH is a two leg commute or a 3-hour drive. I used to drive half way and sit in starbucks all day when on reserve, hoping I would get to go back home. or fly. or anything at all to get out of starbucks.
As they say, I have done (some) research and it seems like ENY could be the one perhaps after the AIP...but I say that carefully because I know it can be disrespectful to act like I am sitting and waiting on better pay etc (earned on someone elses backs) before I jump. AT the same time....jumping in right now has its own competing implications. The good news is that I have time, as I have said.
Being able to upgrade quick and end up in DFW (eventually) even if on reserve, is whats big to me. ENY wins that category over SKW, who would be likely 2 or so years waiting on an upgrade.
