Thanks for the info!
What makes the trips so bad on the brasilia? would they be worse than commuting to reserve?

Well, in my interview group only 2 out of 6 guys made it. They turned down a naval aviator with previous 121 experience, plus a few other guys with 4K+ hours. When meeting those gentlemen and hearing of their quals, I figured everyone would get an offer. Not so.
