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.
Just curious here...which airline has you home every night? I'm just not familiar with it is all. Plus, commuting is having to find your way to one of a few cities to start your job and is done on your own time. If I, as a NJ guy, commute, then I really only have 5 day trips and 9 days off. Just a different way of looking at things as is the choice to live in domicile or not. Plus, NJ offers the 100 cities to live in or near which is nice too.
Semantics aside, I think you have found a VERY nice airline job if you are home every night.
