If you take DFW prepare for when you go back to the Academy (you will not have per diem since you're in base).

DFW is the cheapest base by far. You can buy a decent house within 30-45mins of the airport for $150k.

DFW has ERJ and ATR pilot bases, so if you cant get a DFW base on the initial class Day 1 just try to get either the ATR or ERJ somewhere else. You can put in a base transfer and shouldnt have to spend too much time waiting.

Rumors are the lifeblood of the pilot group, we always have some good ones

Haha, no! I'm born and raised here, long before the Free State movement was a concept. Its a bit radical and heavy on the civil disobedience to really get anywhere in NH. The would have had a lot more luck in Vermont!

Im currently JFK based, but will be MIA soon! I commute out of BOS, and there are lots of options BOS-JFK and BOS-LGA so it hasnt been too bad of a commute (but still, any commute blows and I highly recommend moving to a base if you can manage it). It is a 1hr drive to BOS from where I am in NH, and then the plane ride to NYC. With weather and delays it can be a loong day getting to/from work.

Haha ya Im just another guy flyin the line here and trying to help answer questions from the people thinking about Eagle. Im tryin to figure out what the Feb14 class will be. Im betting on lots of ORD FO CRJ and DFW FO ERJ with a few LGA FO CRJ. Smaller number of DFW/MIA FO ATR as well. I'll let you know if I find out anything more solid.

Thanks a million! Also I know you have done it before, but if you DONT MIND, once you see what the options might be for the 14th, let me know what you would do if you were a newhire in that class and had an 'empire state of mind'.

What is the schedule like in training? I heard you go M-Th, and you get CBT?
How long do you get after training until IOE, and then do you have time to move your stuff!

Probably see a psychiatrist - what good comes from NY/NJ?
