Hey AirWillie, commute-wise, they're just like any other carrier. As long as you show up to work on time, they don't mind. From what I hear, 60% of people in MEM commute. I'm planning on commuting from Oakland, CA. Jumpseat is a very powerful tool to help with that.

As for the interview- just make them happy and tell them you'll live in base, even though you want to commute. A friend of mine was hired about a year ago, and he's flying about 14 days a month with the rest off. It's really not too bad.

All in all, every almost every regional will be the same. It's about what you make of it. With a rotten attitude, any airline will stink. But with the right attitude, you'll enjoy it.
