The EMB120 First Officer positions are not commutable.
The ACP First Officer positions, however, are commutable, because we fly you to your assignment anywhere in our system as our goal is to get you the hours you need as quickly as possible. And since we don't need an FO in that aircraft, we can just send you to our highest timed routes.
We prefer pilots to live less than 1.5 hours from the base where their route leaves out of. But we also know that's not completely possible. That's why we have Home-Based Captain positions. That schedule is different from our typical Monday through Friday, morning to evening. It's 14/7/14/14.
Hope that helps!
