Sure, it would be great if all our trips started at noon and ended at noon, however, the world is not perfect. I am a glass half full guy, and for me the commute is not bad at all. If you go into it understanding there will be times when the commute is difficult, it makes things many times easier. I would love to be based at home, but for now it really isn't that bad!
I assume you live near msp. I imagine the commute has gotten better. When phl opened there were approx. 60 pilots who commuted to phl either from or thru msp. The majority have left which should make your commute easier. I still don't think its a easy commute when you have 1 flight left to get home on your last day. perhaps they have added a late night flight to the scedule. Hopefully this winter when the headwinds are 140 kts you won't get bumped for wt. and balance.
By the way bizzum gotta love the old school twins logo!
