I was in a similar situation with wife and daughter so I can relate. I would consider Colgan. Things are heading in a positive direction and we have a base in LGA. I have had a good experience thus far and I am not even based near my home yet (soon hopefully). The people are great and yes, there are things that need and will be changed in the near future. If QOL is important then CJC is a pretty good place to work, and I am at a MX base right now! With the Q rolling out this Jan. you might want to consider EWR. Just food for thought, good luck.
