I'm thinking with the American network it would be easier to commute out of TPA. I understand that I may have to wait to get a shot in two-three years when bidding for CA as cadets will probably suck up all the 175s in class. Moving away from Tampa isn't an option, wish it were. Thanks!
Take the first class date. If you're not happy with envoy after the month then go OO. Don't know how Jr their IAH base is but tpa to IAH shouldn't be that bad. I know Miami looks good because it's in your state but would you realistically ever drive? If driving isn't an option then pick the best commute ( ones with the most flights). While yes Envoy has a flow...right now its at almost 8 years. While moving out of tpa would be hard...as I personally think it's a really nice place to live. Maybe you don't want the flow and end up NK or WN for their Orlando base.
Btw you're commuting for both. Anything imo over 2.5 hrs is a commute.
