That is exactly why I fly 135 vs. 121. I spoke with many 121 pilots who told me the commuting game has now become a trip to the casino every time they would try to get to work. Sometimes it's a winner, sometimes it's a loser. I'd love to fly 121 but I will not move to DTW or EWR or MSP to do it just to be "in base" and make wages that would only be sustainable in the rural southern states. Now, I let the company figure out how I will get to work and all that commute time is on-duty time. Positive space travel: no jumpseating, no guessing, no headaches. I have seen pilots sweat it out waiting at the gate wondering if they'll get to work. That, to me, is not right.
