What are the downsides of a Boise 175 FO base? It's a smaller base, in a city that is in the lower-half of housing costs for ERJ bases, but I keep seeing new hires awarded. Why? Growth, movement or no one wants it?

Your trips start early and end late generally. It’s tough on commuters because 4 day trips turn into 6 day trips (required to commute the day before and day after your 4 day trip).
Think about this scenario, in your bid you’re assigned four 4-day trips and one 2-day trip in May (That’s probably min days off, 12 days). That’s 5 trips total and 2 days to commute to and from home each trip, which equals 10 days of commuting to work.
Do you want to spend 28 days each month on the road?
