Viper - only 10 hrs commuting per trip is decent. I know of 12-14 hr increases per trip. That's why living in base has a huge value. Leave at 3 PM? Commuter leaves their house at 0800-1000. A local is golfing, playing tennis, sleeping in, mowing the lawn, gym, etc. Trip ends at noon? A full afternoon at home. Hardly counts as a day of work. A commuter might be home for dinner.
