I've commuted for 7 years in and out of MCO to LGA, SDF, IAH and ATL.

For 3 of those years it was commuting to RSV.

For 3 of those years, it was 'off-line' (not an employee of the airline I was riding).

I wouldn't wish that experience on my worst enemy. QOL is non-existent.

Things got a little better when I started riding my own airline and had a better shot at the jumpseat. They got a little better still when I got off RSV. I always gave myself 3 flights (even if that meant the night before) and with 2 exceptions, I always made my show.

Some of the best advice I was given when I started at a Regional was 'never move for an RJ'. RAH opens and closes domiciles with stunning regularity. (Anyone remember CRP?)
