Living close to a domicile is nice if said domicile sticks around and is an important consideration. I wouldn't even worry about flight benefits at the regional level. Those are always subject to change and not worth much unless you go to a wholly owned regional. For instance we just got an email this afternoon for 2016 United pass benefit enrollment and parents now have to pay segment fees for each flight in addition to the annual enrollment fee. On AA we can't even check ourselves in anymore and have to pay $1.52 per segment (pre-merger it was free) to list thru my ID travel unless we list 72 hours out with our pass bureau. Plus the routes got even more crowded after the AA hostile takeover of Airways.

Go flush the toilet and watch the water spiral downwards. That will give you an accurate depiction of flight benefits at a non WOd regional.

If you use wings and list as a commuting pilot (d6) there's no fee. However if you list as an r2 which has the listing fee, can you be checked in as a d2? I've never tried it.

I always use myidtavel and list as a commuter. It's free.

If you're young and free, the travel benefits are awesome.

In 9 months with the company, I've been to Asia, Hawaii, Guam, South America, Germany twice, and planning
a trip to Barcelona in March. Can't beat the $84 business class seats on the way across oceans. I did most of these trips on United, and even Jumpseated to Santiago on DL.

True, however that is not technically part of the pass benefits that we pay for. I enrolled in pass benefits with AA last year and I mostly just use the free jumpseat listing tool because it's easier.

I think anyone with Delta benefits would disagree. I've had pretty good experiences with Alaska as well.
