Don’t know, not necessary for me to know. Plenty of connections, if needed. Wife can carry everything with her job if needed. Zero issue. Live where you can drive to work, work the system, work minimally, and don’t sweat stuff = happy work life balance imho. Others, feel free to worry and HUSTLE your gate on go home day for that commute to a financially stronger airline in a seniority based non-rev system, (or DL while they have temporary, non-contract +space commuting) risking commuting for the foreseeable future, to a junior base for reserve, then upgrade quickly, again to a junior base for reserve, for the foreseeable future. Or move to an expensive “in financially stronger airline base” city with dramatically increased real estate prices/taxes, pay the moving fees, the initial apartment and storage fees while figuring out where to buy an overpriced home, and try to relocate your wife’s job as painlessly as possible for her, or face being a perpetual commuter. This “awesome” situation obviously changes the further out the flow is, but the doom and gloom about AA is just lost on me. Oh and don’t forget to complain about it on APC please. I’ll read it from my boat in lake Dallas on Long call reserve at AA. I’ll feel your pain, I promise. OP you do what’s good for you and your fam. My 2cents.
