Commuting from anywhere is tough. I have been commuting over two years to ATL and it can be very draining. You do not get paid to do it. I have to get up at 0330 to catch a 0540 flight in order to duty in at 1300. That of course fluctuates but it has been more common these days. The trend right now is no mainline only SKW/ASA. Those fill up quick; especially with senior Delta flight attendants. I like ASA. It has room for improvement but so does anywhere else. Best of luck.
