I’m in one of the odd situations where commuting works out very well. I live in a city with direct hourly shuttle service to my base on 2-3 different airlines. My airline has a commuter policy that protects me as long as I have two options that get me to work and gives me positive space on the second attempt. In the event weather/delays I’m a 4ish hour drive from base. All that combined with the occasional trip that ends in a deadhead (which you can swap for a direct flight home/get released and commute on your own direct) and it’s a very good QOL for a lineholder. I acknowledge that such an arrangement is rare but “good commutes” like this might exist in some city pairs.
