I'll check into those. I've looked briefly at Cathay, but I thought they wanted lots of hours, unless I missed something. I'm at 1400 tt and 550 multi. My wife would like to stay close to family (California) but likes to travel. She knew what she was in for when we got married, so I'm lucky she is so supportive. We have some friends in the Dallas area, so the DFW base for American Eagle would be nice.
