I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on what the commute might be from IAH to PHL. While I know that commuting sucks, I feel that I can do it for a while if the greater goal is in mind; however I don't have any experience in the 121 world, and don't want to hate my life in a year..I have been in corporate for years, and would really like to make the move to PDT, just don't want to bite off more than I can chew. Do the lines really get better? Maybe 5/3...ETC? Any info helps and thanks in advance!
Although the schedules are mostly 4/2 the lines have been built very commutable. Flying with a guy right now who commutes from DFW, our 4day started at 1450 day one and ends at 12ish on the last day, he is able to commute to and from on both days. The commute is long but at least you arent loosing days off. This is how the majority of the trips have been built for the last few months.
