I commuted from LAS to LAX for my probationary year on the 756. I didn’t have to worry too much about other airports, however a lot of people in my crash pad did. Overall, it didn’t seem to happen too much. But the company gives you some leeway when going to one of the other airports, plus they give you extra money essentially to take a cab or an Uber. As long as you are in base during a short call, you really shouldn’t be worried about it IMHO.
