I know the compass has a Dtw base, for now, and I know commutting sucks but it's time to move out of Dtw.

hurry up and move...then let me know how the commute is....i'm planning on moving to CO soon.

How could JFK be a easy commute and LGA suck? It's a 13$ bus ride taking 30 minutes or a cab for 16.50 between the two.

Jumpseats are free. $26-$34 each trip can get pricey.

You might think Tsa is getting better but they're just picking up the scraps of other successful companies.

And by only, you mean them and Skywest/XJT/ASA. Their management is also systematically preventing the merging of groups and some consider Skywest to be the King of regionals to work for. Next time, include facts in your Hater-Aid. It helps win arguments and makes you look less stupid.

I've flown a few trips where both the captain and I are DEN commuters, that's when you just need to find a write up on the plane during the last leg.
