To each their own. The sky isn't falling in MSP or DTW.

I am wondering how a commuter from the Midwest who draws a NY base will fare when it comes to the QOL (commute times/time diff) and the added expense of crash pad in NY? My guess is that commuting will almost always mean traveling a day early unless P3. I am not sure how this will play out on the return side. What does a crash pad in NY go for these days? It begins to look a bit unattractive even with the "bonus". Thoughts and/or insight?

A new hire today will peobably be stuck in NYC for just a month or two until they can shift to DTW or MSP. It takes a vacancy or two to build up the base. I wouldn't sweat it too much.

I thought long and hard about this as I packed and left my house with the intent to move to base (living in the Endeavor hotel now). But even though I have LGA-900 I still plan to move to Michigan and wait out the vacancy bid back to DTW. The cost of living difference is truly phenomenal. I believe what WMU is saying to be true. Hopefully if there is another vacancy bid in Sep or Nov it won't be an issue.

Edited to add: By bring, he means have available. Everything for setting up leisure travel for dependents is sent via email. So if you have it on Google Drive or DropBox, you are golden.

I hear ya. I have all my important "stuff" on Drive, so I can access it from anywhere. It's only an issue if a person wants to sign their family up the first week.

Fortunately, I had all that crap on a flash drive, which is my version of the DropBox. Either way, we had people in our class who were totally caught off guard and frustrated that nobody told them.

I personally wouldn't recommend coming here unless you want to plan on living in/commuting to NYC for 6+ months. There are a lot of people above you that are stuck in NYC and looking to get MSP or DTW. Getting it in the next vacancy if you are a new hire today is a pipe dream.
Don't forget: even if you are awarded the base you want in a possible October vacancy, you probably won't move until December or January.

Sure there's a lot of focus on NYC right now, but this isn't a shock or anything. Bear in mind how many plans we've seen in the last few months.
