Tons and tons of redeyes and other crappy flying. I can hold LA and SFO and desire west coast base, but man that flying sux! Unless you're a vampire or above 30% in base.

Some guys like redeyes for commuting, but most every trip below 50% starts with a redeye and some have two. When they start with a redeye, they usually finish too late to commute home.

EWR has mostly AM starts so western U.S. Commuters have to usually go in day prior, but I usually commute home last night.

If you live on the west coast, esp drivable to SFO, no brainer.

But looking at bid packages as I have done since SFO base opened up makes me hesitant to leave EWR flying just yet.
