I don’t know who lives in Scandinavia and flies for Wow Air out of Iceland but it isn’t me.

As for the OP, you are single, no wife, no kids? You’d be nuts to leave UAL. If you’re single, go where the job takes you. Move to a United base, a large one. People I know commute do so almost exclusively because of their wife, kids, or both. Eg, wife job, kids schools, etc.
