I think interviewers would understand that no? The E-175 and pay bump are secondary.
Again, not moving that direction yet but need to have backup plans if this does all happen

Meanwhile, Republic and SkyWest hold on to bases they’ve had since day one and they’re staffing them relatively well. This job doesn’t pay well enough to make a long-term commute affordable, IMO. Additionally, the perpetually low staffing makes schedules tough— even for locals.

You are doing it to not do a double commute, and Expressjet doesn't offer Commuter Hotels. It is a safety and financial decision. That should resolve their questions.
