I figure winter would be a pain for commuting but not sure if it's even do-able. Thank you and long time reader, first time post!

Choosing to commute when this guy has an option otherwise is just insane. These are regionals… not a single one is worth commuting for.
I would choose to commute to RPA or OO before I’d work for any of the wholly owned or Mesas of the world just to live in base.
To each his own.

Exactly why I didn’t pursue them. If you were thrown to the 145, that’s two years not being able to go to MIA. And by that time, you may already move on by then.
