For the rest of the population, it isn’t worth uprooting your family, making your spouse quit a job and moving them across the country for a regional job. Look at websites such as passrider.com for possible commutes. Look at bases serviced by SWA. Their aircraft usually have 2 jumpseat a along with many Airbuses. Pick something close, but think about hubs. I took a longer commute once to avoid an ATL commute and all the DAL employees. Some airports just suck, others aren’t so bad.

Written like a millennial with no ties or responsibilities.

If you live in a regional base, work at that regional. Never chase the best contract or payrate at a regional level - no regional is worth commuting for. Other regional might pay $20k more, but driving to work is more valuable than that.
FYI: I'm not a millennial, and I have ties and responsibilities. That's why I choose to drive to work, and would not commute for any regional.

Wtf? You didn't understand what I meant. Let me rephrase it:
