They’re cheap because they both suck as places to live.

I respectfully disagree with you. I grew up in KC. Good for raising families. Power and Light district good for singles life.

It is not NYC. Most majors keep having openings for newbies; FO keep transferring out as soon as they can. Why? Because as you would say, for those not from the Big Apple, “it is too expensive and it stucks as a place to live.” Others will disagree. To each his or her own.

Yes. Different people want different things. None of the big 4 have any bases that I would want to live in, even a little. But I love Indy. It’s more my speed. Some people hate it, I guess. Who cares?

I grew up in KC half way between downtown and the TWA overhaul base and landing strip, before it became the commercial airport.

East coaster I’m sure. Spend some time on the ground in either one, you might be surprised.
