Thanks. So to be very crystal clear, commuting without a crashpad - especially on reserve - just doesn't seem possible, would you agree? Don't see how I (or anyone) could make mortgage payments, plus crashpad rent and other bills on first year FO pay.
I hear ya about getting the job first - I'm just trying to figure out whether I should even bother with trying to get a regional gig, or take some other route with my career altogether. I appreciate your help.
