Or when you become a line-holder at PSA you can be off 17-20 days /month as long as you’re okay with 65 - 70 hours of pay. I run into DFW, MIA, and ORD commuters from time to time and they have it a lot tougher than CLT and ATL commuters. Just my observation.
MIA may be easier if you’re at Envoy or Republic and you’re on your own metal for the commute. But I literally know pilots in JAX who just drive to MIA because it’s easier than catching a flight. And the Envoy 145s can be weight restricted and won’t be able to take a jumpseater. Not as common in Florida as the northeast but it does happen.
