Sounded like lots of good advice for the DFW commuter. I need similar opinions. I'm newly AF retired and live in Tucson. We're not leaving anytime soon due to wife's job and house value. I'll be #1 in class for seniority. I was thinking ATL would be easiest commute followed by MEM(FEDEX). I also have PHX as a backup but don't want to make a habit of driving there. I'd appreciate input to easiest new hire bases to commute to.

Hi Columbia...Congrats on joining the team. Good news & bad news. Good news 1st - I'm running a Macbook Pro w/ Snow Leopard. I bought MSW 98 @ Fry's - the one that you buy if you're building your own computer ($90.) Go into Finder=>Applications=>Utilities=>Boot Camp Utilities. Print the instructions and run it. Use a minimum of 15G. I used 15 and wish I did 20, but everything works just fine. You will also be able to download and run PBS Desktop (bidding program.) Now you can work on bid when not online. Very handy of you commute.
Bad news - You can bid anything you want once on board. Heck - why stop @ the 777....Bid the 747-400. As previously stated...you'll get the bid once the other 12,000+ guys & gals don't bid it. Just kidding. Enjoy your stoke and lets hope the hiring continues!
Baja.

Very glad to be entering the pattern on the MD-88. The energy and excitement thus far has been great. Bring on the spouses! See you on the line.

For commuting, it's not about the actual distance (unless you are driving) but more about how many flt/what airline. What is the nearest airline airport?
When you mean low ssn, do you mean like 0020 or 9920? Because 9920 will be at the top of the class senority list and 0020 at the bottom.

My SSN is 0XXX so I expect to be at the bottom. I'm closest to VPS but PNS and ECP are both about an hour away. It sounds like catching a ride on RJ's is difficult. Is that because they're usually full? What is the best way to see routes/flights per day out of a particular airport?
