I would lean towards the A320 just because you will be able to lateral quicker to another base...assuming there is a base that would make for an easier commute.

As far as daily flying, the 76T in Ewr has a bunch of early departures for the Trans cons that leave from JFK. That fleet seems to be the most understaffed for the time being

Where would you be commuting from?

I don't think the plane is going to matter. That commute is going to be a challenge no matter how you slice it.

Agreed. That's going to suck.

You have multiple RJ flights per day from both PNS and MOB to IAH. If I was you, I'd try to get to IAH as soon as possible

You'll be a line holder on the Airbus quicker than on the 767 which would greatly improve your QOL no matter which base you're commuting to. And you'll have more lateral opportunities and those opportunities will come quicker on the Airbus.

One of my pad roommates commutes from the panhandle. To say he has difficulties is an understatement.

Yuuup. A one leg commute from a giant city with 20 flights a day is stressful enough for me even though I make my first choice 90% of the time. A 2 legger from a tiny city with maybe 2-3 flights a day only to stress catching a connection would be too much. I'd move if there was any way possible.
