Thanks for the response King. In a perfect world, I'd like to be based in MCO (but trying to stay away from Mesa). I thought the other alternative would be to get a relatively easy commute from MCO and have some trips that do overnights in Orlando.

Amen to that brother! I was a bit disappointed when Comair annoucned we were closing the MCO base. It'd still have been a few years before I could hold that anyway. The economics just didn't work with it though since we were driven out of MCO by CHQ and Freedom

No overnights for ASA in MCO. I'm pretty sure MLB or DAB is as close as you can get, and MLB is on the -700 only.

No such thing as an easy commute from MCO.

Thats not the case at all. When our MCO base closed most of the guys went to JFK. They all say the commute is simple with ample flights on numerous carriers. Never any problem getting a seat

I was commuting to CVG from MCO, it was a nightmare, In STL now, much much easier commute. but commuting still blows.

king10pin02 is right about that commute from MCO-CVG or vis-a-versa. I used to work the ramp for Comair in CVG and recall that the CVG-MCO flight was always full.

I remember always trying to do the CVG-MCO-PBI-MCO-CVG trip. They used the 200's at the time. I would assume the same situation exist even with the 700 or even the 900.
