If I plan to live near Denver and have to commute from Denver until I can hold it as my base, what would be the ideal place to commute to? It looks like ORD, IAH, and SFO are all nearly equal in commute times, while EWR is about an hour further away.
Also, how long is probation?
Thanks!
To second what
11atsomto said, hub to hub commutes to or from DEN are difficult due to lots of positive space training travel and last minute listings. I did the commute SFO-DEN and it was not fun, but I made it work. If you can't get LAX I would suggest ORD given the fact that there will be more flights on other carriers as options compared to the other bases. And on United there are often WB aircraft DEN-ORD which increases the chances of seats in my experience (i.e. there tends to be at least a few no-shows or misconnects given the large numbers).
Also, don't commute to EWR... you're welcome.
