Considering commuting to/from large cities, here is some general perspective...
From a hub to non-hub, usually not too bad.
From hub to hub, now it get's tighter, because you have folks going both directions.
If one or both hubs has multiple airlines with pilot domiciles then it has the potential for ugliness. LAX, DFW, ORD all fall into this category. As a junior regional pilot I wouldn't recommend it.
