I would start by examining the primary reason for your departure from shuttle, as you stated its the commute. Jumping ship to PSA as a captain for more money is not going to alleviate the pain of your current predicament.
Living on the west coast has got to be a real drag commuting. But at least in NY I would imagine your commuting options are better than say PSA in CLT.
If it was me, I would be looking to join a west coast regional if you are not willing to move to base.
I don't know how your schedule is today being there for two years but I would imagine you are going to lose 2 days off per month making a switch anywhere.
Thanks for the reply. Believe it or not, after 2 years at RAH, I'm back on reserve with 11 days off a month. Either delta or RAH decided to shift our flying back from JFK to LGA and that has caused me to go back on reserve. You would think 2 years is enough to to get 13-14 days off a month a regional but at RAH, unless you're on the 170, that doesn't really apply.
