On the other hand, yes.

I would not contemplate it in shorthaul, but on the longhaul fleets its quite doable, but not optimum.
Also be aware that you would likely have to buy into a commuter flat co-op close to the airport (ie:****tsville) for those bid periods when you are on reserve, assuming QF.

Obviously fatigue risk management comes into play, which will preclude a long commute on 1st day of duty. Load factors are high too which might make staff travel as a junior pretty risky.

By no means is the commuting scene anything like jumpseating in the USA. Or any T&Cs really.
