The other option for commutable pairings are red eye trips - provided the redeye leg isn’t inserted into a regular trip. But pure redeye trips, although unpopular, are commutable on both ends.

For every PM turned AM trip they create, most likely there will be a AM turned PM trip. Call me selfish but I don’t want spend more time on road just to please one group of pilots. One of the top things that brought me to SWA was the productivity of the trips. I average 18-19days off a month (perfectly happy with ~80TFP/month) and I don’t want to have to work an extra day or spend more time away from home than I already do.
