Default Any NWA Commuters out of EWR? Question...

I'm a DAL NYC based junior FO. Although NYC is our most junior base, depending on how much they shrink it, it's possible I may get displaced out of it in the next year or so.

I'm trying to consider my options, in the event I get displaced to a NWA base. If anyone commutes out of EWR to either MSP, DTW or MEM - could you fill me in on how easy the commute typically is?

MSP & DTW seem to have 10-11 flights a day between NWA & CAL. Obviously, that may change in the future, but it's what I've got to go on now. MEM has only 4 flights, so I'm thinking that would probably be my last choice, unless the flights are notoriously wide open.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Heyas E1,

NY to DTW is one of the easiest commutes in the system. Same time zone, lots of flight options, not a lot of commuters from there, short flight and lot's of commuter friendly trips and good hotel/crash pad options.

All of DTW rotates around commuters, much more so than MEM or MSP, and hardly ever has the delays/hangups that MSP or ATL seem to have. If you're on the east coast, it's a no brainer, IMO.
