1. Surf Air flies all day trips, so you would need a place to live, not just a standard crash pad.
2. Surf Air domicile are at small airports like HHR, CRQ, and SQL. None of those have airline service, so you would have to fly into a big airport and Uber to work.
3. Surf Air has cabin seat agreement, but not cockpit. That means you will always be the lowest of the low priority to get on the plane. Pilots are able to commute because they can take the cockpit jumpseat, or are first priority on their own airline. You get neither of these. Be ready for lots and lots of missed flights and airport appreciation time.
If you try to commute to fly for Surf Air, you will have the absolute worst QOL that I can possibly imagine. My suggestion is to move to California if you want to fly for Surf Air.

Surf Europe and surf air pilot future
Gents how can you get on with surf air Europe with there Jet? What is the typical future of a surf air pilot post part135, direct to majors or just a gig with a regional? 1000hrs in company for Left seat, guessing about a 1 yr upgrade, do they pay for ATP and what's the bonus if any for staying with them...
