1. No positive space from overseas. Only from a U.S. city within network of AAG.
2. No credit for previous employment with AAG for the purpose of retiree travel benefits.

For me the travel part isn't that big a deal. I was going to be home this summer anyway. Positive Space from a U.S airport seems fair. I think part of it is that they don't want to deal with ticketing issues overseas and all that it may entail with security etc etc.
Regarding travel benefits, yes that does. I will consider AAG but knowing that there won't be travel benefits after retirement makes ENDV and others equally appealing, since I am not concerned about the flow as much due to age and stage in life.

CaptYoda, one thing I'd consider is time to upgrade. With prior 121 time and time in aircraft. You could be short listed to not just capt, but possibly training dept/soe area. Movement is so fast up there that you could be making serious cash not far removed from training. That's something you wouldn't have at other regionals.

A good buddy of mine commutes from ATL and he has no issues. Most lines right now are super commutable, especially from large hubs. I commute from DTW and have had no problem making it in on the day one and home at the end. Commuting is not optimal, but so far it's been fine. Especially with our commuter clause etc. if you have any questions please feel free to pm me. If I can't answer it I know someone who can.

I totally understand! If you have questions let me know. I'm not concerned with any referrals or anything. No ulterior motives here.
