Living with the parents can really suck for the social life. But financially it can also make a lot of sense, especially on first-year pay.
I am cautiously optimistic about RDU and LGA. It will give more people more options and that is hardly bad. But in the vein of being careful what we wish for, I am also afraid of what this could do for schedules. I am suspicious we will end up with more 1-day trips, and that is never good.
But for those living close by those bases it will mean vastly improved QOL and that is great for those folks. Plus, it should mean I can hold a good line in DCA....
Also, the bar in RDU at the hotel will now suffer great financial hardship with no more AWAC crews!!
