It doesn't matter which a/c I get. How's commuting to other bases like?

More questions to come. Thanks for time guys!
I don't want to burst your bubble...but you won't get ABE for at LEAST 6 months (if you are extremely lucky). ABE is one of the hardest bases to get as an FO and impossible to get as a Captain. If they are only hiring SAAB and Beech guys, you won't be getting EWR either. It's a Q400 base.

BUT, I will tell you that SCE and BGM are great places to be based. Cost of living is next to nothing. The ramp crews and flight crews are both second to none. And the schedules are all pretty fair. Both are college towns, so if you are over 21, the bar scene is happen'n!

Good luck.
