I fly ACC... all of our charter pilots commute. Scheduled runs are half and half.... commuting *IS* possible but is not fun.... if you live a great distance from your base you will have to jumpseat, which means that after 12 hours of night cargo you get to jumpseat when you are quite tired. Also consider jumpseating: a one leg trip just takes a few hours, but if you are connecting via the usual hubs (CLT, DTW, MEM, ATL, etc) you will spend all morning and afternoon getting home on a saturday, then all sunday night or monday getting to work, and then WORKING. A better deal is getting a base within a reasonable drive of home if you are lucky.
