Wow thanks for the insight! I'm actually living in TUL now, but my current commute east is not always easy either. It's too bad that the schedules aren't very commuter friendly, although my current shop is quickly turning that way with a lack of bodies and the new rest rules. I'm about to go 3 weeks straight (if the current plan holds up today) of being reassigned into one of my 2 precious days off.
Guess I'd figured it could be a bit better there but maybe not!
