Sorry for the slight thread drift guys, but I have a question which I didn't think it warranted a new post.
I am in the position where I'm very unattached to my location and can choose to live anywhere I want for the long term. Currently in ORD but I don't want to buy property in Chicago.
Would it be dumb to choose to commute in exchange for a place I like?
In the interview they explained the X and Y list for open time pickups. Is it possible to still be able to make some extra money on the Y list in a heavily serviced destination?
Would you say that I am crazy for even considering the idea of choosing to commute?

Also, choosing to Y list out of a destination rather than a base isn't going to yield you too much since you're basically banking on things like weather, meltdowns, fatigue calls, etc (the uncommon things) in order to get that call. If that's your plan, don't set yourself up for failure by expecting calls just because it's a heavily serviced city. Making plans based on X/Y has always been a gamble, Destination Y only would be really tough to plan around if you want extra money.

I commute and have ever since I started my airline career nearly a decade ago. Lots of people do. I grew up in a terrific city and it’s close to base and has 10-12 flights a day to work/home. It’s stupid easy and almost zero stress to/from.
I get so sick of people that try and shams commuters, like we are all morons for not living in base. GTFO here with that BS.
One year, at my regional, I actually moved and “lived in base”. Guess what? The city sucked, I had almost no friends (outside of the few at work) and after a couple months, guess what I did? I started commuting out on days off and having fun and a life again.
Live where you want. Unless your truly living in the middle of nowhere, it’s not hard find flights to your domicile.
