My boyfriend will be applying to the regionals in about 5 months and I am a little confused on the whole location thing with these airlines. Basically my dilemma is this. I want to stay within the state of Florida for two reasons. The first being that I want to start my Master's degree at one of the state universities (perferably the one in Jacksonville) in the fall and the second being that my parents are going through some health problems and I don't want to be out of driving distance from them. My bf, David says that you have to live at the hub you are assigned to when you start out. Is this true? Are their any airlines that will work with you on this?? He also says that he doesn't want to commute but I say that I don't want to keep moving around especially while I am working on a graduate degree (which would be impossible). I looked into online masters degrees but they do not exist for my major. In the background of all this I am also scared that we will move far away to some unknown city and to top it off I will be left alone a lot while he works. I just need some advice, any, on the whole location aspect of all this. We have been fighting constantly over all this and I am just at my wit's end. To top it off he is 5 months away from all this and he hasn't even looked into any airlines and what they offer. One that I thought looked good was ExpressJet but I don't know if that would work with living in Florida?? What are the benefits and drawbacks of commuting versus living in your hub?? I noticed on here that a lot of people don't seem to live in their hubs and I was wondering how that works?? Is there anybody especially in the Florida area that can give me some insight here?? I know this is a lot of questions but I am sooo stressed about this and I don't know who else to talk to that would know better than yall!! Many thanks!!
