The current commuter clause is one flight on any airline. I’d guess either DFW or ORD would work well enough. DFW remains very senior compared to DTW/MCO/FLL and ORD slightly less so. I don’t think DFW availability will occur in any system bid in the near future. I think the commuter hotel situation IVO ORD is better, too, with rooms at about 60 bucks a night, and crashpads in the 250s with public transport.

The biggest issue with NK is gapping your health care for 3 months during training, along with training/first year pay.
