Thanks!

If you get Cmh it’s only a 2 hour callout so you could just get a crash pad or hang out just south of bowing green Ohio/ Findlay area. Maybe a little closer to cmh due to traffic and the crew bus. 3 hour drives not that bad.

This. If you're dead set on RPA and cmh is closest to your home id suggest drive. Not sure how long cmh rsv is for fo's tho. I commuted to DCA out of dtw and it was an easy commute (if you end up getting DCA out of training) and crash pads in crystal city aren't horrible.

There is also a PSA base in Dayton thats the same driving distance as CMH for me. The lines are pretty commutable out of DCA?

"Commutable" lines depends on seniority. Sorry, my point was dca was an easy commute out of dtw. B/W Delta and American plenty of flights. And that the crash pads are OK, and walkable distance to the airport, or a $5-8 Uber if the weather wasn't cooperating, or take the metro(train-$2?)
