Random thoughts in no particular order.

Commuting to an international category is much easier than commuting to domestic. More trips are commutable one or both ends and each trip is worth more pay. You will fly 1-4 trips per month vs 3-6. The time you spend commuting will be recovered with higher daily average credit. Look at the wide report for line value and days off around your seniority for a rough gauge on daily pay/credit.

Another factor is the ability to pick up trips that start/finish with a DH. You may get a paid PS commute.

The specific commute also matters. MSP-DTW is world's apart from SLC-JFK. You may lose out on short notice premium trips, but WB trips generally have more notice and higher value.
