Domestic flying wise we are the only airline that doesn't just go to the airplane. The guys who actually defend the weather room meet and greet for domestic flying are usually so out to lunch that they haven't worried about the golden goose in quite awhile. They have rental properties and horse farms to tell you about while you stroll 30 minutes prior onto a mostly boarded and unsurprisingly blazing hot airplane. They then say how the airline sucks because -insert opposite legacy- has no idea how to run an airline.

Signed, a guy who has walked from my commuter flight past our departure gate, then many more gates, then to a tunnel, to meet with no one. When Captains take the time to shoot an email about meeting at the jet, it shows that they value your time and effort.

Central Bucks is an excellent district from what I’ve been told. The drive is a bit longer to EWR vs. The Lehigh Valley. Housing in Central Bucks is about 20% higher cost I’d guess, although more of an available supply. Nazareth area is growing fast and there isn’t enough on the market.
I would consider The Lehigh Valley as gentrifying. There are without a doubt some tougher areas it would be best to avoid. Central Bucks seems a lot more established money wise.
Best wishes.
