Commute Required
How does one determine the most commuter friendly regional? I can't move to a domicile but DEN and PHX would be my easiest commutes. So out of TSA, Skywest and Compass - who has the most commuter friendly schedule and rules? I am not considering Mesa even though they are PHX. I know TSA I could hold DEN pretty darn quick but its still a commute (1-2 flights daily or a 4 hr drive).

No idea what their commuter policy is, but if it involves giving yourself multiple options for getting to work, 1-2 flights daily will make that difficult to comply with and leave you sitting around the airport for hours after you get done working just waiting to go home if you choose not to drive it. If you have to commute, try to maximize the number of daily direct flights you have.

Probably ask on the specific airline forum about the commute policies.
In addition, look at passrider.com for number of flights between different city pairings. Generally, more flights is slightly better than a short commute with few pairings. But there is a trade off.

Will ask each airline was hoping there was info online somewhere that I missed.

Look at own metal, but understand that may change for regionals.
Consider temporary relocation until you can hole commutable lines. Mountains don’t matter if you can’t see them because you’re working.

If it's United for example, and you work for any UAX regional you would have elevated nonrev and JS priority on any other UAX regional which happens to get assigned to fly to your town.

The regional which flies to your hometown is not as significant as which major they work for... regional flying can and will be shuffled around from year to year.

All else being equal, the best commute is on your own metal of course (assuming you have travel privileges on that brand, if not you'll be last priority for cabin seats, although typically first for the jump).
