NC: commuting better than being based!! You must be on drugs RL
How can you say being stuffed into the jump seat or Y class for 9 hours after arriving from a long haul is better?
I too have commuted and been based and I can tell you being based is a whole lot better by far ( forgetting the money side )
Commuting would be ok if you could get J class all the time, but now days it's the jump seat or Y class 75% of the time.
