Lots of flights, and hundreds of United, American, Delta, Alaska, et al. pilots and flight attendants fighting for seats. Same with SFO except take out Delta and Alaska and add Virgin America. You will get bumped, you will watch the last flight to PHX push back from the gate, you will have to buy hotels/sleep in crew room, and you will go into a satellite airport to get there. Oh, and you curse the inventor of the Regional Jet. G'day to you.

I've been making this commute for just over a year. Loads are tight in the summer, holidays and during spring training.
I've missed a few flights but there's usually another shortly after. Never any weather delays. I always use SWA or USAir. Our airline only flys regionals

As a new hire not even in class yet that lives in PHX, I would love to have a short commute, however IAH/EWR sounds like it will be a bit more forgiving to a half winger on probation. Hope to see you around PHX sometime soon!

2014 was bad year for commuting, I had to go thru other cities to get home or to work, been bumped a lot, watch my plane push back form the gate, etc. you know, the usual.
Also, baseball spring training season is a commuting nightmare.
