I don't want to work weekends, and every holiday, plus have vacation in September/October or February/March, for the next decade. And after 15 years of on and off commuting, I'm over the commuter lifestyle.

But ya... living in base sure helps. Sit reserve, make league minimum, and generally get paid to sit at home a lot and enjoy spending time not flying
If you live that close to ORD, who cares on how senior or junior it is. I tried commuting for a year and it wasn’t for me. Of course, where I lived before was just the end of my military moves and I had no ties or reason to be there, so it was a easy decision to move on into base
