I don’t live in the Charlotte area yet and my family and I are considering a pivot to SLC area for a year in order to make year one a bit easier.
Things at play for my personal situation are my wife will be around family in Charlotte, no close contacts in SLC. Her concern is having a support system when I’m not there for birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas etc. I’d still be a commuter in NYC or ATL as well, but I feel like the pain is eased by proximity and number of flights available to those locations, as well as the possibility of a drive if needed to ATL.
What are some things I need to consider if we decide to move to SLC not being a member and on first year pay with school age kids? What are some things to consider if we stay with our plan to move to the CLT area? I don’t know what I don’t know. Thanks for any and all advice.
Have you ever been to SLC? I wouldn’t dismiss it without visiting. I personally love the SLC area with the mountains - although it has its worts like every place. You should do a long weekend in the area and check it out. I have always found CLT to be a bit boring, but having family in the area does help. Another benefit of SLC flying - you can bid the A220 and enjoy 21st century flying!
