The real issue is when you can reserve the JS, (which we currently can at AA) it is literally stress free. You book it and forget it. I never check loads and basically just drive to the airport on my commute day, fully expecting to make it to work. With OAL's you never really know what the situation is going to be till you get to the airport. You don't have inside access to loads and are at the bottom of the barrel for the JS.

Do you know which side you're going to yet? By the way, I don't think it will matter by this time next year. If you get LUS, your choice will be made, because you'll get the 190 to PHL.

One other piece of advice, since you have no experience at this. Commuting is a mind set. You have to embrace the positives of it (living where you want...near family, skiing, etc) and never feel sorry for yourself. Once you get negative about it, you're done, you'll hate it.
