Unless you get based in a hub like DCA or PHL on the YX (RW) side, you will not get anything commutable. With a commute to Ireland, PHL is really your only option unless you commute through IAD if DCA based. Looking at Passrider.com there is only one flight a day to DUB out of PHL and IAD so that makes the commute near impossible. The flights are in the morning after most of our trips start and way before you are released. So you will commute in the day before and out the day after. You will probably be lucky to get home once a month with usually no more than 3 days off in a row and will more than likely have to do a several leg commute. Also, I don't believe we have Zed's with Aer Lingus right now so IAD isn't an option. You can double or triple leg it through EWR, JFK, ORD or ATL to give you more options but that is even worse. Only JFK has more than one flight a day (3).

I could see how a part time FA could do it but not any way a Pilot at YX could. Maybe on the S5 side out of LGA by going through JFK or EWR. The Q could be an option as well out of EWR.
