I just flew with a guy that was a commuter from PHX and now based in SLC. He was going to SEA for the better trip destinations (he liked Alaska stuff) and had plenty of options for commutes with at least 2 bookable JS available daily. Aircraft used switches up a bit during the year so layovers wasn't a guarantee year round. He said he switched to SLC because there was more options to commute and if he has to buy a ticket they are cheap.
I've got FA and pilot friends that do the LA commute and it can be brutal. A few buddy bid and carpool.
