Justin's company is closing it's Buffalo base.

The threat of Justin's company closing it's Buffalo hub at the airport is now a reality. In the back of my mind I knew this day would come, I was just hoping it wouldn't be so soon.  The base will close at the first of the year. All the Buffalo pilots of this company placed their bids for alternate airports as of Saturday. We put our first choice as Columbus, OH. However, we won't know where they are placing him until Wednesday. Our other choices were Cleveland, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, and La Guardia (NYC).

If we really wanted to stay Justin could commute from Buffalo, but that would cut into the time that we could be together and if he has to sit reserve then we would only see him a couple times a week. In the end I think we are going to have to move. Ugh. It's not that I'm not used to it, but I just finally felt like I was planting my roots. The thought of starting over in a new hospital (for the 4th time) and making friends, etc is a bit overwhelming. I know things will be ok. I'm a resilient woman :)  I just know I'm really going to miss you.

  • Leaving Ohio and moving here was the hardest thing I've done, but it ended so much better than I thought.  Now, there's a very small chance we're moving again to NC...all the changes suck!  But, Columbus was a great first choice.  You'd love it there!  It's so nice :)  Let me know if you have any questions I can answer for you about Ohio.
  • That really stinks! It must be tough to relocate so much, but like pp said, at least Bella isn't in school yet.  Hopefully you'll stay on the boards and keep us updated.
  • Aw, I'm so sorry.
  • It's too bad that you have to leave.  Keeping fingers crossed that you get your first choice location. 
  • Bummer!!  No matter where you end up you must stay on this board!  We would miss you and your adorable kiddos way too much!

  • Oh Shannon, I am so sorry for the news. I know that you were really hoping to be established here. Is there any opportunity to transfer companies to stay in Buffalo? I know that is a very long shot.

    Having lived in/near Cleveland and Indianapolis I can say that neither of them would be a bad location. I also have a friend in Minneapolis and she just loves it. Feel free to ask any questions once you find out your placement.

    I hope that this all works out the way you want it to.
