If those are the places he’s considering over Texas, then those are probably the best places for him to be…

I get it. The wife and I spent 24 years moving every 2-3 years and we get restless. She hates DFW and I don’t have ties here. We grew up in Houston and it’s not what we remember it as. We enjoyed our time in Northern Va. and her best friend is still there. We’ve never lived in Colorado and would like to give it a shot. San Diego was our favorite place and LAX might be good for seniority movement, but I’m not trying to live there on first year pay.

Apologies for being nosy. I've never been to Houston but was strongly considering relocation from the PNW just to live in base.

I’m happy to give you my personal opinions on it if you want to DM.

I can tell you one thing-if you live in dfw the Denver commute is much, much easier than iah unless you plan to drive. For reference, I commute to Denver but occasionally
pick up iah trips.

Hi everyone,

Gathering information about QOL in California, as a "new hire". I see the possible assignment of 737 LAX or SFO.
I'll be move to base, period.
Any big difference between these bases? ( type of flying/destinations, movement of seniority, cost of living, traffic to work, etc)
I will probably try to rent a place within 45"/1:15' driving time from the airport.
A friend is telling me that SFO is a big base for the 737, moving fast...and LAX is stagnant? Is SFO probably the best base to be a "line holder" during your first year?
Thank you!!!

Probably because they’ve been to Houston.

What do you want to know about 756 EWR flying? It’s in my opinion some of the best flying in the system……. It’s all Europe with some domestic and trans cons mixed in. Because it’s EWR, if you commute to reserve up there. It will hurt, you will see short call conversions unless you aggressive pick up trips.
