If you're there, do you drive it or non-rev? I've been a non-commuter for my career, so the driving just seems like less of a pain in the backside.
I don't do that commute, but flew with a Capt that does. He usually drives, as it's only 2 hours. Occasionally he flies. Speaking from my experience as a long distance commuter (leave my house 2 hours prior to flight, then fly a 3 hour flight). That seems like a very easy commute and I'd likely drive it every time. You'll save a ton of time by not waiting for flights. Go to your library and check out some books on CD. You'll be very well read.
