Ok, same situation as OP, but I am moving to Long Island (pronounced Ston-Guylan), NY because family (smother-in-lahr. There, I said it). I am prepared to pay ALL the taxes, deal with the traffic, and all the other ancillary benefits associated with living in that little slice of paradise...
Is a 2 hour train ride from LI to EWR sustainable? Does anyone have experience with that commute? What about circumnavigating the city by auto? Or should I forego that adventure and fly DAL mostly out of LGA and JFK? I like both companies. I am mostly concerned with QOL (ironic, I know, moving to NY, but once again, it's for the family). From what I can gather as of now (prior to classing up), it seems like seniority prospects for me are better over the next 30 years at UAL. Thanks!
