Fellow aviators, awesome insight here, I hadn't considered checking into who may have JAX overnighters, so that is very helpful, and the commute is getting to be a deciding factor, giving me a lot to think about, will be dropping my application in the coming weeks once I can figure which one to hone in on. Thanks again, certainly open for more tips and recommendations, thanks!

Check out www.pilotdomiciles.com for a big-picture idea of what your options are.

Combine this with google flights and hit one way ,non stop. Click a couple days and see how many flights there are. Pick the one with the most amount of flights.

https://www.passrider.com/reservations/advanced-search/ select city pairs and choose NO for specific date, that seems to work better IMHO. Six of one, half dozen of another.

Like I said above, your choice essentially comes down to ATL or CLT and DCA as a distant second as far as ease of commute is concerned. Look at the regionals with bases there, interview, get offers, then make your choice.

Why not OO? ATL is pretty consistently junior there.

I could be wrong but ATL-JAX may a tough commute. Not sure how many Delta mainline guys do that, but I imagine there are a handful. I know there are 757’s on that route quite a bit.

As a JAX commuter, can confirm ATL-JAX is not the easiest commute. WN does 3 a day to help out getting bumped from mainline or last minute revenue standbys.

That being said, I do JAX-EWR with Republic. Tough commute but not "impossible." High credit trips there make it worth for me. Still get 15-16 days off with commutable trips most of the month.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 12:52 PM.
