Yeah believe it or not, at least OCL, most of the more senior pilots are commuters, hence making that line a dud. In addition, while its nice to be home every night you don't actually get done flying until around 6pm, then you factor in the drive home. Reverse that the next day and it turns out to be lots of driving and running around.
Not to say they are not good, but they certainly are for the right people only. Lastly, harder to pick up OT as they credit like 88 hours or something.

But yeah, if you're a commuter, these are the lines to avoid

Non-rev question about D1 vs. D2.
Does D1 give you any other priorities over D2, other than priority getting a seat when space gets tight?
Does a D1 get priority when it comes to getting an upgrade, or is it solely based on check-in time, assuming there are seats available?

Two caveats to remember:
1. I have been saved when the flight was full in main, there were 5 or so revenue standbys, and 1 premium 'no show'. I made the flight as the revenue standbys were not eligible though tier, or otherwise for the premium seat.
2. On a long haul flight - passengers may only be eligible for a Y-->J/W upgrade, meaning you could bypass them if seats remain open in Flagship First (only on the 77Ws).
Hope that helps!

D1s get you higher up the list, ahead of all D2s D2Ts, but behind D1Ts. Once all the revenue standbys, upgrades, oversales, etcetera are cleared - you will then be assigned a seat in list order. If premium seats remain, and you are listed for premium - you would get assigned a premium seat in list order.

Using a D1 for commuting in order to snipe a jumpseat is frowned upon. Please keep that in mind. Everyone else on that list “is just trying to get to work or home” like you are. Use your D1’s for vacations and leisure travel.
