Everyone has their reasons for choosing what is best for them. I like the schedule flexibility of the airline. I can be home in my own bed every night if I want or I can fly 4-day trips if I want. Pay here is better than top of scale at NJ, but at the end of the day NJ probably has better stability than the airlines in this business cycle.

The funny thing about NJ guys is they say that they don't commute, but as I see it, most guys commute to and from work on every schedule. Just because you have a positive space ticket to get you where you are going doesn't make it anything less than a commute. I drive to the airport to work a trip. It takes me 15 minutes and I guess that is a commute too.
