I’m tied to living near SDF for the next 5 years so that my kids can graduate. I love the area but if moving makes my life simpler I’m not opposed to it then.
A commute to Chicago isn’t ideal but doesn’t sound too bad. I’m just trying to maximize quality of life. It’s time to give back to the family for this second carer. I’ll fly whatever/wherever can do that.

They only bumped 52/137 captains this go round. I would be surprised if there is any outside hiring for this year.
Being from SDF, chances are UPS would send you to ANC simply because that’s what they do.
Go to United and don’t look back,

Always take a firm class date, and if offered a different opportunity later, you can make the decision then.
Commuting sucks IMO but ORD is probably about as easy as it gets between UAL, AA and UPS.
I'm surprised this realignment isn't larger in numbers, perhaps they want to do smaller bids to manage schoolhouse throughput and "clean things up" with regards to retirements and hiring, but that's probably giving them too much strategic planning credit. Training bid probably won't drop for another 4.5-5 weeks given the realignment/displacement cycle...with training starting pretty much immediately after the training bid award comes out.
