What specifically makes commuting for Boutique challenging? The poster mentioned that it might work for a Denver based pilot, but what about the other bases?
I'm curious about Dallas, as I live in Houston and there are about 50 commercial flights a day in each direction between these cities. Thanks.

First, there aren't pre-determined lines of trips - your days off, days worked in a row, where you're flying, and where you have overnights mixed in there will vary each month. It's not like you're always on four days, off three days where accommodations are covered the whole time.
Second, you might be scheduled five or six days in a row flying the same day shift - for example, on at 8am, off at 7pm - so you're either making it a long day by commuting before and after that, or you've got somewhere to crash where you work for five nights. In that case, seems like you might as well live in base.
