Commutability at ANY airline depends on your domicile, where you live, your seniority, and the schedules available to you at your domicile. Most airlines have commutable schedules at least at the larger domiciles.

200 FO's have just a few months on res and fly a lot. Close to 500 FO's maybe.
ATR FO's? Got me. I can't speak prop anymore.

You show up to class... They have slots to fill... Old farts get first choice. You get what your seniority can hold. If there are 10 LAX openings and 20 ATL openings you better hope you are in the top 20. $19.02/hr won't buy sh*t in LAX.
LAX is a small 200 base for now. After the new contract it will be both 200 and 700 dual qual crews. How they will work the pay I have no idea.

Generally speaking, most of the ASA lines suck for commuting. Lots of early duty ins and late duty outs. You'll need a crashpad which go for $150 to $300 a month in ATL, and who knows what in LA.
