We'll be close to BWI. Is it as bad as they say? Should I consider a home-based ACMI or fractional job? Maybe suffer the commute farther south into DC?
We’ll get a new contract eventually and it will be industry leading. That said, It’s not, nor will it ever be, the SWA pre 2000, but it’s better than a 91 gig. United would be my first though. You could hold 737/320 CA in Dulles within 18 months. You’d also cover DCA and BWI if you are Dulles based, but most of your trips would be out of Dulles. Worst case, you’d get Newark for a few months which is only a 3 hour drive from the Baltimore area. BWI upgrade at SWA is about 7.5 years. Good luck.
