MDW commute
Good Morning ladies and gentlemen. I would love to work for SWA, but my biggest hang up is QOL. My chosen base would be MDW, and my commute would be from an airport that has 3 seasonally 4 flights per day to ORD. I have some friends who are junior pilots at SWA, and they say it's a rough proposition for myself. I realize even Jr pilots get a lot more(2-4) days off than I do currently. However a commute in the day prior and leaving town day after makes a lot less time at home. Currently I am able to drive to work. I know, simple answer is move to base. And my simple answer is no thanks. Way later in life I would like to live in Florida, and realize it is Sr but in 25 years maybe a new hire from today can hold it. I am asking if I am setting myself up for failure and a lot of stress with a young family and all. How long to hold commutable trips? Working 6 day stretches is an option that would help commute less, if it is even possible with the trips ending late starting early. Thanks for the help.
