Well, if its anything like DFW, it's extremely tough in the summer, around the holiday, and the entire month of March (spring brk). Other than that, its probably manageable. The good thing about HOU/IAH, is you've got Continental, Air Tran, and delta to ride on. However, if you are coming to work for ASA, our pass benefits take a serious dump in Dec and you will now be behind retirees and have to pay (per leg and per mile. TOTAL BS!!!!).
If you have the option to go elsewhere, ie Express Jet or even AE in DFW, I would recommend you do that. Commuting is very tough and ASA is very bad right now.
If its not ASA, congrats!
Just my 2 cents.
