You can see the problem when you only have 1-2 days off... 2-legging it to/from work can be common, and ironically ORD turns out to be one of the frequent connections...
Lastly, when it comes to commuting/non-rev do you get benefits on both AA and United or just the carrier you are doing the flying for?
Both, but assume you're always going to be last on the list with AA. United priority is just okay.
This is all in addition to our lackluster work rules and low pay.
I would very seriously look at Compass or SkyWest.
