Thanks for all the replies everyone. Like I said in the original post, it's only for the first year while I get my feet wet at the airlines. ZeroTT hit the nail on the head- I'd much rather suffer through some more while commuting where I'm going back to hang out with friends. My current job already brings me to cities where I don't know anyone for weeks at a time, and I'm definitely ready for a change.

Anyways, the main point of my original post was to see if that commute with 7 flights a day would be feasible, and it sounds like it is!
