One of my good friends on the 777 does the commute. I know when he has a mid day Asia flight he usually goes up on the first flight out in sits in SFO for 5-6 hours. For the SYD 10PM push, he usually bounces out of here around 1 or 2PM. Sometimes when things are messed up there with flow he will go via SJC and take a shuttle to SFO.

As a new hire not even in class yet that lives in PHX, I would love to have a short commute, however IAH/EWR sounds like it will be a bit more forgiving to a half winger on probation. Hope to see you around PHX sometime soon!
