I’ve done both and with the A12 passes for LGA. The easier commute is hands down LGA. MIA maybe the worst commute in the whole country because everybody that flies American that goes to the islands for vacation has to pass through Miami. There are usually 10-15 D1’s used on the mid day flights to and from DFW. I usually always had to go through Houston to get home.

I did both. Believe it or not for me was easier Miami, always got stuck for LGA because of the weight restrictions. The only day I had problems commuting out of Miami was on Dec 24th. Everything else, smooth. Maybe like 3 times the Jumpseat in 2 months. Everything else normal seats using only D2’s.

What's the deal these days.
Good afternoon,
I'm looking at the DEC gig, has anything changed? I am a new greencard holder and they only give you +-6 months to move to a job so it seems like I'm gonna have to leave my shiny 777 behind and join elsewhere. A major is undoable as I have a 90 day notice period and I can't apply, interview and get accepted within 93 days so I have to look at some other alternatives... I know I can get into LCC/Atlas (I have around 5500 of which 5000 Jet ((737/777)) however I'm looking to get some PIC time until a major picks me up.
Can someone give me a bit of a picture of how it is these days?
Thanks,
Seb.

What a joke! Bases in all the right places?!?!! Are you kidding me. You will be stuck in NYC until after the rapture! 80 hrs a month as a rsv captain? 5 year flow? If only they would substantiate how they derive these assumptions! Go fly a kite, youll be better off. And good luck getting a day off that YOU need. CPO is abysmmal with “help.”

I don’t think anyone is saying the DECs program is right for the general population of captains, however it is a niche that can be filled by those that serve to gain from it.
