If you want to live in Mississippi or some outstation in the NE do it. If you can afford to live on a monthly take home of $2k average go for it. Keep in mind on a good day you might have 2 flights in or out of your base to commute but if you work the night shift and get in around 930 on a Friday your only chance out is like a 5ish AM flight and hopefully it's not cancelled. If you miss it cause you're exhausted then you get to wait until Sunday at noon to leave. Of course at that point you'll probably be back working on Tuesday or Wednesday (it seems now you get 1 stretch of many days off rest of the time it's a piddly 1-2) so is it worth even going home? Ok but you still wana go now you finally get to ATL and you have a tight connection to your home city... You look at the watch 35min to go you think I can do this might have to skip that coffee though. You hear the captain "Welcome to Atlanta with another on time arrival by Silver..." You think o crap this is guna take forever you see 33min on your watch no stress I just bought this sweet Luggage Works bag with the rollerblade wheels this thing is smooth I can power walk all the way from E concourse to C and still make it no problem. You look out the window no bus what the heck why didn't they call for that blasted bus (remember we don't park our planes at gates like the "big leagues" we have remote parking and a bus takes you to and from the gate),very rarely does it work smoothly usually it's while you're on duty not the days when you commute. Watch says 32min o boy this is getting close they're finally unloading gate checks and you see the bus coming. Watch says 31 min you think to yourself I got this! Every one is on the bus it's starting to pull away then a moment of shear terror hits you....!!!! No I know I didn't just hear that not guna happen they won't do it today but wait you hear it again yup it's the sound of a Saab on Dixie in beta and you all know what that means. Yup! Son of a Jack Rabbit TUP just landed and with their 3 pax we are now turning the corner again and waiting for the plane to park and deplane. Watch says its over bud don't worry there is another flight in like 2-3 hours and hey now you can get that coffee you wanted and look on the upside instead of taking the cramped plane train you can get that much needed exercise and walk! Plus Bobby Jimmy and Billy are inside at our sweet crewroom and you can talk to them about how awful the Packers are and that the Bears are the most amazing football team ever! You'll get home some time around 1-2 with still plenty of time to do some serious day drinking.

And that "my friends" is a typical day of commuting from MS mixed in with some inside humor but you get the point. So if you want to come on board do it you'll have a fun time with our fellow coworkers that's for sure, but don't come here for anything but the hours and people.
