Commuting can be rough, but I would say moving god knows how many times would be a living hell. For example Republic closes bases every other week, regionals shift around, bases downsize. I do the ATL-MSP commute and yes it isn't fun. Probably one of he worst commutes in the country (LGA is up there though). Two legs most of the time actually, but I still would hate to move to MSP for a job I know I will only have for a few years. Home is Atlanta and I know that one day I will be back there. And say I get on with United and decided Denver is where I want to go, heck I'd move there even if I couldn't hold it for a while because I know that eventually I will be able to and that beats the hassle of it all.
