Commuting sucks
everyone is now doing it. Fewer flights, more commuters has made it extremely difficult to do.
I loved my time at AW and I would have stayed had the commute not been so unbearable. I got tired of either coming in the day before, or not being able to go home until the day after. Or I’d have to leave early AM on the first flight on day 1 and come home the last flight on day 4. Then I’d have to hope for no maintenance or weather delays. Then I’d have a jumpseat only for one with a higher priority come along and bump me off at the last minute.
my advice would, if you can, live in base and avoid commuting if you can.
