I’d go with door number one. I think a transcon commute suuuucks, but the upcoming AE has a 120 day window. That’s the MAX they can wait to
move you. If you go with the second one, not only do you have to wait for the AE to come around, then open, then close but then you’re again waiting up to 120 or maybe even 365 days to go to training for another 6 weeks.
