commute to reserve by jumpseating or pass riding is gonna be hard especially if you have a family. You’ll have to sit in crash pad or hotel on short call or field standby a lot. As a LH you can possibly move or drop trips and manage your commute and trips better. How far of a commute we talking? 2 hours by plane? Now if we’re talking Las Vegas to west coast base probably ok… depends a lot on flight availability.
