DEN or DFW

For someone with no family obligations/property willing to move to the assigned base, which one would you guys recommend and why?

DTW CRJ get it right out of training. Upgrade right when you hit the mins and don't have to move. DEN will take much longer to hold as a new hire plus if you take the first upgrade you'll be commuting to DTW anyway. DFW will slow down once the base evens itself out. Don't even think about DEN ERJ as you will take forever to get DEN and also there is absolutely no movement.

Things always change. The only constant is change. Stay tuned...

DTW is not on the list if I can avoid it honestly. I'd rather move to ORD, but preference would be DEN/DFW.

Denver is supposed to be one of our largest hubs by summer. Presumably because of the GoJet announcement ot ORD/EWR flying...

Can you afford DEN? That place has become absurdly expensive.

From the DVR it feels like CRJ, but if anyone has inside info I’d like to hear it’s ERJ. The east coast flying sucks

I mean, ORD is not much cheaper than DEN if you want a decent place. DFW is definitely cheaper

I'm DEN based on the ERJ. Moved to Denver a year ago. Honestly, Denver sucks.

Cost of living is out of control, traffic is LA bad, 1.5+ hours to the mountains, druggies and hippies everywhere.

I'm planning on moving somewhere like TN or SC where it's cheaper. People are nicer too.
