Commuting can be difficult based on start and end times. I used to commute from north of DAL to PHX. Due to PM schedules, commuting back to DAL was always on another carrier with a red eye or next day.

It's true that the west side isn't so junior anymore, but I'd look at LAS or OAK if you plan on commuting from BUR.

Especially the Friday afternoon flights from BUR-LAS!
