I live in Dayton, Ohio... Commuting will be a fact of life, perhaps forever (though a move to New England may happen before retirement). What I like to fly: anything in UAL's fleet suits me just fine. I know. Boeing but I'm not opposed to learning something new. How fast? Well, I am prepared to deal with reserve for a couple of years (in between leaves for military duty)... So the question is: Are the trips pretty similar out of EWR?

A 15 day line that is non-commutable means 18-20 days away from home, even worse depending on where you're commuting from. Throw in some early AM LGA trips and double duty to the West Coast and back, and a line may look less desirable. Just my $.02.
