IAH or EWR
Hey there everyone! Long time lurker first time poster. I start in 2 weeks and I've been keeping tabs on Airbus bids through the indoc site. I noticed the 2/20 class has 3 bases available on the bus. I plan on commuting since I live no where near any bases (I'm in NC), so i'm trying to figure out flying wise and commute wise which base would be better for each? I commute out of CLT so I know there's a ton of flights between AA and UA to EWR, but I don't know if IAH has flying good enough to warrant trying there too. Any insight? I'll also mention I'm no where close to CA upgrade so I'm not worried about that at the moment

CLT-EWR will be the much easier commute. There has also been far more 737 slots in offered each base than on the bus. Are you more concerned with what you fly or where you fly? Considering that the pay is about the same, I'd personally rather deal with the 737 with an easy commute than a nicer plane with a more difficult one.

every single other fleet is strictly EWR.

That's a good point. I know what a pain it is getting between those bases. Do you like the 737 personally or tolerate it?
