For my route, fares right now are about 3 to $400 one way. That's close to 3k month. That really adds up as an FO. Also, doesn't work too well if on reserve.

Funny how I never hear people complain about all the PSC to and from ATL for SIM. Maybe we should say, commute to ATL, primary and back up? Think of all the precious revenue the enterprise is missing out on by giving all the non ATL pilots free rides to training. You knew where SIMs were when you got hired. Living outside ATL is a choice.
