For guys out of base, how commutable are the lines for say someone based in DFW? I'm in a similar position with young one at home and wanting to be home as much as I can. Thanks.

Like any airline, its seniority based. RSV sucks. Your QoL will improve markedly as time goes by. We're growing very quickly, this year you could reasonably expect to go from schoolhouse to ~50% of base within a year..
I did it, even with the curtailed hiring in Spring..
As has been noted by other posters; 100h credit 18 off isn't hard..

The 60 / 70 hour requirement seems like a real burden. Even if flexibility is good, being forced to work and credit 60 - 70 hours every month is a bad deal in my opinion.
Even Spirit can drop to zero as a line holder if they want. Same at United. Not sure about AA or others, but come on, it would be unpaid of course.
Are there any other majors that require that much credit each month ?

I dont mean to sound trite, and we certainly do have some DFW commuters....

All bases are attainable short term as an FO. The junior bases for captains (in order of most junior first) are MIA, PHL, ORD, & MCO. LAS and DEN have both had captains involuntarily displaced out of them recently.
My guess is MCO is not attainable as a captain for a current new hire for at least 10 years. That is unless they grow it or open a TPA base.
