What he said.
Cost of living acts in direct tension to your #1 and #2 priorities, because seniority is everything and your seniority will punch above its weight in NYC due to everyone else avoiding it.
Another thing I would toss in - find a big base in terms of regional pilots and mainline departures.

Some tiny outstation (cough, COS) that has 4 departures a day isn't a place to rack up the hours.
