Default TPA/SRQ Commute

Hi y'all. I know this has been discussed before but a lot of the information is on the older side. Was wondering how the commute out of TPA/SRQ is? Would EWR or IAH be a better place to commute to? Thanks for the help!

This appears to be mostly a cut and paste of the same thread posted a few days ago in the DL forums. I’m assuming you are (for presently unspecified reasons) averse to flying a 737 and being MCO based?

I have offers at both right now and unsure of any differences between the 2 on commuting. Not adverse at all, just not sure how realistic it is for me to plan on MCO anytime soon.

MCO 73 FO will likely be attainable within first year—if not within 6 months—but on the CA side it is and will likely continue to be very senior.

The math changes a bit when/if the MEC allows the TPA co-domicile.

The MEC will allow the TPA co-domicile only in the next contract. You never know, the OP could actually be senior enough to hold MCO captain by the time we get a TA.

I haven't done any commuting out of SRQ but I've been doing TPA to DCA/IAD for ages and I found it was easier than commuting to EWR. On paper EWR has way more frequency but there's a ton of commuters and if you're on reserve and have to crosstown to LGA it's a giant pain. The metro connects DCA to IAD and there's enough BWI guys/gals that I only saw it once on reserve. Shouldn't take too long to hold MCO so I'd imagine the commuting won't last very long, maybe a year.

Yes they did, assuming this passes.

It’s in tiny letters on the summary under increasing crosstown pay. (Includes TPA)

Pilots living closer to TPA could see this as a good thing. Pilots living closer to MCO could see this as a bad thing. I don’t live in FL so I don’t have an opinion but I’m curious what others think.
