One more question, would commuting from San Jose up north be reasonable for the first few months (Family there we could stay with)?
Not on short call it wouldn't. Yes, AA has great SCR call out rules but if it requires you taking a flight then you are pushing it. They always like to tell you that story in INDOC of that guy from ATL who thought it was a good idea to sit SCR for Miami at home. After a few miss trips the Chief Pilot personally showed up to his door during one of his RAPs to collect his badge and Ipad.
