I will never move to NYC, and commuting to sit in a crummy Kew Gardens crashpad isn't fun.

Isn't that a possibility?

I may be wrong but it seems like the guys who live in or near NYC have been flying more often. Please correct me if I’m wrong in that assumption.

Growth at Endeavor seems like a fairytale and more then likely is just too keep people in the seats and coming through the door. The guys in here that tell you NYC isn’t so bad are probably the same nut jobs that pay 1500 for a one bedroom apartment so they can live in New York.

I would love to be able to live near a base but I don't have one near me, no matter what airline I chose. RDU is the closest base of any airline and it's GoJet. Not that I have a problem with GoJet, but it seems many do and I don't need anything going against me that I didn't cause.
So for me, I will have to commute. I would rather have an apartment than a crash pad. I could keep my crap there and not have to worry about it being stolen/used (aside from robbery). Gives me something to do when I am on reserve and not being used. I also considered getting an RV and finding a place within the callout window to live. I could get the same effect of an apartment but have something at the end of it to use later, plus little projects to do on the RV itself while sitting around bored.
