Similar concept to everyone else that asked. Im at Delta and finished training in april so still very fresh on the 737. Im commuting to LAX and live in SFO and man oh man commuting is an extra stain on my mind and it's driving me nuts. The commute isn't terrible. I show up for an assignment 2 hours prior, havent had any issues. That whole process of getting to an assignment takes 4 hours at least out of my day. Getting back home has been a little more difficult depending on what time I end a trip at night.

I got the UA TBNT in june 23 and not long after that being that I came from OO the "flow agreement" got me worried that I would be pulled into the 1600 TPIC trap and id have to start over so instead i took the CJO with DAL a year later.

Waited 8 months for a DA class. I'm somehow a line holder, not sure what its going to look like when the seasonal flying slows down come fall. The flying is decent, these constant transcons are rather dull. Flights between 1.5-2hr are my sweet spot. But only half of the trips are commutable. So, that part isn't great.

There are UA folks who live in DA bases and DA folks who live in UA bases and criss cross on the commute. That's rather odd imo. I don't have the desire to fly widebody but I'd like having the ability to hop onto one for fun travel.

I have no interest moving to any DAL base with the exception of SEA maybe, but I do like having sunlight or going to DEN would be something else I'd do for UA or stay in SFO.

Given the climate right now is it even worth reapplying with UA prepping for an interview, waiting for a class and going through the school house again for YR 1 pay.
