Do not commute for either. If you want to get away go to Eagle. Doesnt exactly sound like their schedules have improved much like ours. And whiskey... You will be extended and jr man drafted as much as possible due to their staffing levels. Mesa or express jet might be better options. Unless you want to fly in the east for some reason. My time at Pdt is running out, but if you have any specific questions PM me. Speaking about other airlines is hard not ever working for them. But I do know commuting definitely will keep you gone. And more than you want to.
