Why are you dead set on sw? There is a decent little airline with a few gates in Detroit, which I imagine is a closer drive.

Is this a realistic commute? Anyone with experience able to describe what this might look like? How early I’d have to fly in? How likely is it I’ll be able to get on a flight out of GRR? What happens if I’m not able to get on a flight out of GRR?

Any advice or insight is much appreciated!

Meijer is looking for a pilot out of GRR.

I would suggest Amway instead if that's what you are looking for....

Any airline or regional based out of Chicago or DTW would be better then corporate. Go the corporate route and you will have years of regret .

Yup. Wasted 8 years of my life flying part 91 corporate for a Fortune 500. Wouldn’t do it again unless the only alternative is getting out of flying altogether.
