Not sure if that that was tounge in cheek...but for those who don't know any better lets not simplify things that much.

There are MANY factors that go into choosing where to work.. Commute is just one of those factors.

I have buddies who live and are based in CLE working for a "commuter" airline who are going nuts trying to leave because they hate it so much. I have similar stories from guys who lived and were based in MEM while working for another airline.

So simply choosing whatever company has a base where you want tonlive and disregarding the rest is not a smart move. I just want those folks out there who are considering their next move to understand that.

With all that said, yes... Life is much better when you don't have to commute.
