No, I'm saying that under our current rules, people are frequently transitioned to SC and you shouldn’t bet on staying on LCR. Living outside of the 2.5 hr report for duty window would require you to deal with crash pads or hotels like most commuters. We also don’t know what the next contract will say or how long it will be before we get to that stage. I agree that it won’t get worse, but how much better it gets is the question we aren’t going to know for a while.

Thank you for the information, it does help. And the end of your comment leads me to my next big question:
What about commuting to LCR as a WB FO? That's actually what I was most interested in (commuting AUS to EWR or SFO), and now I'm very curious if that might be a little better than what I'm hearing about commuting to LCR in general.

I tended to commute the day prior. Getting home was doable too. Had more competition on the way home than on the way to work, but never missed a commute in either direction.
You also have Spirit that flies up to EWR, but that’s once or twice daily. It was a nice back up, but never needed to use it. I would definitely choose IAH as a base if you live in AUS. YMMV.

While no one knows for sure as the base hasn't even opened yet, you should not have much difficulty getting there after the next vacancy bid as everyone that just went there to break seat lock moves to where they actually want to be.
