I used to live 45 minutes from base but in LA traffic that easily became 1h45'. It wasn't terrible on 3-8 day trips but when the company switched to all daytrips, doing it 8 days in a row drove me bat**** crazy. So much that I moved back to my hometown, changed to a more commutable base and did a transcon commute instead. Even when it ended up being 2 legs it was less stressful than driving in LA every single day. Now I found a job back home with no commute and it's even better.
