However, now that I've started flying and commuting to work, it is getting to me and affecting my QoL and I've realized I'd much rather have my days off spent at home and not flying 5-6 hours home. Do I wait it out and see if it gets better, reapply to the other regional now that I can (I wouldn't have to commute) and leave immediately, or apply and wait a year to leave so that it looks better for future airlines when I decide to move on? Thank you for any feedback.
