You need to speak in English when you aren't in an Envoy thread.

Sorry, here’s the translation.
Au contraire to what Varsity claimed, 2 DFW 145 FOs got involuntarily TDYd to MIA 145 FO. Internal company email sent on the 12th.

Whatever you choose, regional rule nr 1: No regional is worth commuting for.
Driving to work beats any work rule or payscale a regional can throw at you.

For me, the only regional where I could of driven to would be Silver.

Written like a millennial with no ties or responsibilities.
For the rest of the population, it isn’t worth uprooting your family, making your spouse quit a job and moving them across the country for a regional job. Look at websites such as passrider.com for possible commutes. Look at bases serviced by SWA. Their aircraft usually have 2 jumpseat a along with many Airbuses. Pick something close, but think about hubs. I took a longer commute once to avoid an ATL commute and all the DAL employees. Some airports just suck, others aren’t so bad.

Wait... what??? You couldn’t just pull up stakes, sell the farm and move for a regional job???

Wtf? You didn't understand what I meant. Let me rephrase it:

If you live in a regional base, work at that regional. Never chase the best contract or payrate at a regional level - no regional is worth commuting for. Other regional might pay $20k more, but driving to work is more valuable than that.

FYI: I'm not a millennial, and I have ties and responsibilities. That's why I choose to drive to work, and would not commute for any regional.

Then phrase it differently. You made it sound like one should uproot a family, sell the home and move for a regional job.

Internets is hard sometimes. I didn't mean it that way originally.

I'd be hard pressed to do that for anyone, including the big five. One of the most unique benefits we have is to live where we want.(most of us)
