The proof is in the standby list on almost every MCO-EWR flight…
A good friend of mine commutes from Vegas. He said the flight office told him there are 40 pilots who have parking at LAS but commute to SFO or LAX that are SENIOR to the #1 Guppy Captain in SFO. I'm guessing they are all WB Captains or FOs. The #1 CA in LAS is about 3,000 on the seniority list. So apparently its better to commute to WBCA on the coast than live in base and fly the Guppy, even at #1 in base.
