Would you commute to PHL if the pay was the same and you held equally productive trips as what you could hold in PHX?
Once you are commuting you are commuting so the difference between commuting to LAX and commuting to PHL is relatively minor. Lax is closer with more flights but you also have much greater competition for the jumpseat compared to PHL.
