Commuting sucks no doubt. But you shouldn't necessarily base your choice on which regional to go to based on that criteria alone. Although, admittedly, it was my main motivation for choosing the regional airline I'm at right now. I figured I would just move to base after my first year, but after getting to know my base a little better and after a couple trips with the wife, I think I've decided to stay put. CLT just isn't my cup o tea. I still prefer FL.
