The question is , do you want the job or not?.. When I interviewed RG asked 'what if we assign you BUF base?' .. my response was 'I'd still commute'.. Commuting is what you make of it.. If you can move, certainly live in the base.. If you cannot commute , make the best out of it.. This was the advice given to me by a NW 747 retired guy who has always commuted..
