DO NOT commute to this job. The company and historical pilot group does not seek gains for commuters and schedules/contract do not offer much for them. If you choose to move to base, you'll have a much better time.
Keep in mind every new hire will be going to SFO and stuck there 2+ years. There are literally 10 retirements a year for the next decade, so just hope for more hiring to create seniority, not geezers coming off the top of the list.
If you get an offer from AA, take that. Or at a minimum come here and keep your apps out.

This is just marketing and recruiter BS, they put on a show and lie about upgrade times and future plans. The pilot group in the PNW is autistic, so dont expect much conversation, interaction, or layover fun. Just weirdos who are scared of FAs and cant make eye contact with some basic conversation or small talk during a trip.
Be objective about your goals and shoot for what's best for you.
