I went to Pinnacle back in 2011 because they had an ATL base. A year later it closed and 9E was in bankruptcy. I was based in JFK from day one. Listen to those other guys. Commuting sucks and there's no other way to put it. It uses up your days off and creates stress that you can't really imagine unless you've done it. Some people are hard headed (like me) and will find out the hard way about commuting. It's much different if your airline owns the equipment (mainline) and not nearly as stressful. It'll be a lot easier on your life if you just listen to the experienced guys who answer your question.....LOL!
