I never thought a specific base would be a deal breaker fo rme, but I can't seem to find a place where I can feel the way I felt living in Denver.
Other option would be living in Denver and commuting to DFW, but then I'd be a commuter and that would suck big time.
It's not smart to leave a legacy with that seniority and retirement wave coming to coe to a place that has already grown a lot, approaching peak retirements and **hoping** to expand, but might just park old planes and reain the current size. But if you have to live somewhere, and that hub belongs to a competetitor then it does make sense **if it's worth it to you**. Is it really that miserable to live in Ashville and drive to CLT, or live in Austin and drive to DFW, or SoCal and drive to LAX and then use your seniority bump to give you free time and extra pay to visit CO or buy a vacation place and use your awesome senior schedule to visit it whenever you want, until you can hold that WB schedule that makes commuting that much easier? If you aren't happy in those CO-esque towns, then sure, come to UAL or SWA and don't look back, but there's certainly a cost attached to that move.
