Definitely no home basing for JSX, all new hires get BUR base. JSinc is home based. I do know of a couple of pilots and FAs that do commute on the X side but they all have crashpads.

There's no risk of two maximum duty days in a row at the moment. FOs generally fly 2-4 legs a day with a couple of days per rotation on either home or airport standby (paid at full day rate). Captains fly on average 4-5 legs a day, occasionally 6, but they've gotten better at keeping it "no more than 4". I don't know if the long days will come back for CAs if more airplanes start showing up without new people upgrading though. Hopefully it won't get back to that point, but for now it's pretty good. All of our scheduled flights run between 07:00 and 21:30 so no weird hours. Occasionally you might get a charter at odd hours of the night but it's definitely the exception.
