Completely agree with your points. |

That being said, the weather is great, and we make enough to fork out what it costs to live there if that’s what you like. Personally, I escaped 20 years ago and will never fly the bear. |

I’m at Delta but a ton of United guys live in Yardley area of PA. We just moved here a week ago. Hour drive to Newark. Excellent schools. Reasonable taxes. Super quiet neighborhood. And the world would be your oyster based at EWR. PM me if you need more specific info.

Other than that, the opportunities to make extra money because of the high number of commuters here makes up for what Governor Steal-Your-Girl takes from me. California used to be a great place to live; I was born and raised there, and spent 40+ years there. They've lost my business. |
I am not at UNITED, it is just #1 on my list when my current job ends (military retiree in about 18 months).
Curious about commuting from within California. Specifically, we live in San Diego, but would be looking at LAX or SFO for domicile. I would think those are pretty decent commutes, given the number of flights and short duration of those flights. I am way ahead of myself on this, but off all the things with civilian flying, the commuting piece is one of the most foreign to my way of life. Wife is from Milwaukee, and we are Packers season ticket holders, so she is fine with moving to the midwest...but I would love to not scoop snow on my off-time! Thanks for listening! |

The folks I know in San Diego area drive to LAX and SNA. WAY more flexible.
I'm in a similar situation (125 miles from domicile). I tried one time to commute: bad idea. |

SFO is more junior than LA, and SFO has more flying. Career will progress faster in SFO, with more fleets and better variety. |

Southern Washington state is really nice, but the commute as a new hire will put gray hair on your head. There are quite a few SFO commuters up here and they're all senior. I've got twenty years here and I sometimes miss out on the 737 jumpseat.
The difficulty is offset by you having more control over your schedule faster because of the movement in SFO. PM me if you'd like details about Camas/Vancuover/Washougal. IAD is worth a very close look too, with schools being the challenge. |
