There is no perfect airline for everyone!!! Everyone has their own goals and what is important to them. One reason QX is nice is I don't have to move 6 states to upgrade. Have a friend at Express who will have to move from EWR to ONT after two years of being an FO. (Gee just after a few years nice and comfy and now its time to move. A Skywest buddie in DEN that will have to go to ORD for his upgrade. The list goes on! You can commute yes, but I live 15 minutes from my airport, like where I live and believe it or not I am happy. Im almost done with my 1st year and am got a coverage line with 17/35 days off. Just had a Northwest capt come back from his 9 day trip for 4 days off. That sounds great?
