If you have to fly anything more than 1 hour I would not commute, it's not worth it even for Delta. I have no idea how guys do cross country commuting.
Have you done stl-ord? It's mostly RJ's that are oversold. One mx or crew issue since they can't staff and the whole day goes to hell. There's pilots from every airline trying to get back and forth for work and with 1 jump seat per plane people are 2 legging it or taking the Caravan/Megabus home. That commute was awful.
