What about commuting to LCR as a WB FO? That's actually what I was most interested in (commuting AUS to EWR or SFO), and now I'm very curious if that might be a little better than what I'm hearing about commuting to LCR in general.
AUS is a 2.5hr drive to IAH… bid one of the 200 unfilled narrowbody vacancies in IAH, drive to work then bid 756/777/787 when a vacancy opens for them. Really wouldn’t recommend a commute half way across the country. That’s like practicing bleeding. First year pay will be more on the narrowbody anyways because you can fly more if you can hold a line. Pay difference for widebody doesn’t start kicking in until 2nd year.
