Jamek, one last point. Several times (and several companies) I have lived right at the limit of the allowable commute. Almost inevitably, unless I had an 'O crack God Almighty' report time, I had to allow at least an hour and a half to two hours in order to report on time. You'd get away with it a couple of times (being late) but you wouldn't enamour yourself to the rest of the crew (particularly as you'd be the 'new' FO). Points to consider are the actual fuel cost of commuting and the wear and tear on yourself/family relationships.
Good luck.
