I heard LUV and AA are both hiring and have Dallas domiciles.

During my ORD-LGA commute days I saw a Jetblue pilot that two-legged it through Chicago since DFW-NYC was not easy.

Working here is painful enough. Why add to the suck with a miserable commute? I know of at least two Dallas commuters who have quit in recent months.

I can't speak for the NYC commute, but I commuted to BOS for 1.5 years. It was miserable in the winter because of snow storms and miserable in the summer because of high load factors.

You have many options and thankfully aren't fighting too many people to BOS...NYC: I've heard is a different issue because you're fighting junior folks from AA, DL, UA (and other JB people). BOS wasn't so bad because your options are AA, SWA, NK in the summer, and two VERY ill-timed and unreliable JetBlue flights, plus a myriad of two-legged options (my preferred was VX DAL to DCA then hop on jetBlue or AA to BOS as we all shared a concourse or any sort of SWA to BNA/DCA/BWI/MCI/STL are all options that will put you in the right direction).

It's definitely a hike...4.5-6hrs is typical; 13hours was my absolute worst. Just depends on what you're will to sacrifice for $54/hr your first year.

Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

S5s are not pilots. S4W are JB pilots. S8W are offline pilots.
