This. So many people are so anxious to get out NYC it seems. Unless you live in base or are doing a transcon commute leaving doesn't really make sense for a little bit. I've seen many people bid out while holding a line to now bidding reserve. If it works better for them ok but bidding out of NYC just because it's NYC is short sighted IMO. I'd rather commute to a line than reserve any day.

Yes, I've been looking hard at bidding over to nyc but I'm right on the cusp of having a commutable line up there. For me having an uncommutable line in nyc is worse than being on the bubble in Atlanta and being a line holder some months and a reserve others. I'm going to continue to evaluate.

Correct. And you might also hear "front end commutable" or back end..

Yes, but getting a fully commutable line for the entire month can be challenging. Throw in reroutes, delays, WX, and heavy load factors and even with a mostly commutable line it might be a good idea to get a pad anyway. 1-2 nights in a NYC hotel costs more than a month in most crash pads.

If you're looking for seniority and schedule and plan to commute anyway you're doing yourself a disservice not considering NYC. The 3 airport coverage, early sign-ins and WX stink, but your schedule and seniority will be significantly better. For reference, when I left NYC I was #13/92 FOs, when I got to ATL I was approximately #210/232.
Where are you commuting from?

In this case I would say ATL would be a much better base for you based off commute.
