I'd just do a straight guarantee comparison on pay since if you're commuting I doubt one would be wanting to give up more days at home.
Like RJ said living in base is a big difference, especially at SW.
A while back he did a commuter v live in base comparison and if I remember right it was 1 million difference in career.
I live in base too. Finished my 7th year and I’ll do around $280k without figuring B fund in. Usually Elitt trips to ones that are more appealing and pick up 2-3 days POT a month. Could do way better if I actually tried clearing my board and working the computer…but I’m lazy and don’t want to sit at the computer bidding on trips every day.
