AA wholly owns get same priority as mainline pilots for cabin seats (this is ideal for commuting), 2nd in line for cockpit jumpseat after AA pilots. Commuter policy at Envoy is you need 2 flights to get to you to work on time. Can miss trips 2-3 times a year (can't remember #) for commuter policy no questions asked. 4 commuter hotels/month if needed.

Endeavor. Fast upgrade. Over 50k a year choice is easy

Envoy is up to 6 commuter policies allowed per year. Changed last June from 2 to 6.

OP is over in the Compass thread asking if it's worth it to commute MCO-LAX. He must have that SJS bad.

Honestly OP, just go work somewhere commutable (NYC, PHL, CLT, DFW), with a good contract, and don't worry about the airplane. You stay at this job long enough, and you realize how little the type of airplane really matters.

RDU would be an easy commute. NYC wouldn't be bad either.

Yeah I don't understand why all these guys are chasing 175's over CRJs. That Flyguy370 calls those CRJ's "LeafBlowers".

Are you being serious or was that a joke? Ever done a transcon commute to work?
