Thanks for any input.
Getting based in PR would likely not be a problem. Commuting might be the sticking point in that the SJU runs (that is where the 99 runs operate out of) operate Monday morning to Friday evening. Meaning you would need to jump seat in on Sunday afternoon/evening and back home on Saturday morning. Not a lot of home time.
A better suggestion would be to check with the recruiters about being a Home Based Captain. HBCs operate on a 2 week on/2 off/2 on/1 off schedule. AMF gets you a positive space ticket to get to your assignment as well as a hotel and per diem.
