Just looked at the bottom 20 or so awards. Looks like you would be getting night turns, VTO, or week on week off. Obviously the turn lines would be hard to do with that commute without a crash pad (good luck on that). VTOs are hit and miss. MIA week on are good in that they are almost all commercial in and commercial out so that would solve most of your commuting issues but bad in that they are mostly, if not all, night sort flying. From what I've heard junior guys in SDF get better flying than that. Also keep in mind south florida traffic. I live 35 miles from MIA...my commute can be anywhere from 35 minutes to 3 hours.
