Not trying to dump on you, but if you're that tied to the area you might want to think of trying different segments of the industry. A fractional ownership company or corporate outfit might be the best fit. From past experience (that I'm sure most on this forum can concur with) , I can tell you that the airline industry is not one that makes putting down roots easy. Certainly not in the beginning at least. Even when you are senior at your airline that doesn't guarantee anything. Mgt. will close and open various bases at the drop of a hat if necessary. It's just the nature of the beast. Embrace it, hate it, or deal with it. Your choice.
