As one of the guys in the pool (offered a job, but I'm not available till next Summer) I'm obviously hoping for the hiring to continue. What do you experienced DAL-ers think about this idea?

Caveat 1: I'm blessed to be in a position to be able to pick lifestyle over $.
Caveat 2: Don't want to commute to reserve (we'll suffer the inconvenience of an extra move or two instead).

Plan 1:
- Move fam to MSP/DTW (CVG?) and rent a place an hour or so from the airport for a few years while I sit Reserve.

- Once I can hold a reasonable line, swap to NYC and commute from New England - looking to settle within driving distance of MHT (BOS if I have to).

Plan 2:
- If the economy keeps the real estate in the tank in the area North of NYC, just start out in NYC and move the fam there from the get go.

M88 seems like a good platform for both plans, and I've got a bit of an affinity to twin-engined MacD jets anyhow.

Again, I know this is cart before the horse and all could change tomorrow (story of my life), but what say the old craniums?
