One thing, I’ll add. During probation, I would select EWR over DCA. There are way more flights to EWR/LGA/JFK to make it possible to sit most of LC at home and also alleviate some of the stress of missing a commute as a new hire.
I get it, I commute to GR out of a small airport myself on the east coast. All I am I saying is that, when looking at commuting to Delta, look at the amount of commuters you will be competing with. Delta traditionally has a ton of commuters in in the South East going to ATL especially CHS. This is something folks need to consider when recommending Delta.
All I am saying that United is not a bad option for commuting. EWR is doable and IAD are doable global or no global.
