Completely unrealistic. My regional opened and closed bases at LAX, SLC, and DFW all within a two year period. Sure the company pays moving expenses, but thats it--just the expenses. Within that time period, try buying and selling and packing and unpacking and 9 new schools (3 kids different ages X 3 schools each X 3 cities X a bunch of teachers per kid). Moving may as well have been a full time job. Ive spent more time waiting for the cable guy than anyone I know.

Dont try to tell us that we knew what we were getting into.
