No doubt that most people are responsible, but commuting is exhausting, especially when you have to catch several flights. It's only fine when you have lots of direct and cheap flights every day. Otherwise, what if your first flight is delayed or cancelled? what if DHL flight is delayed also, or no jumpseats are available? will you get to your base on time? you can always get a backup plan and take a very early flight and then wait during hours and hours in the airport terminal or in a hotel room (at your own expense), or you can commute the day before your duties and get bored in a cheap hotel room during your lasts 2 days off. At the end that's a crappy lifestyle. You'll spend your days ON away from home and family, and exactly the same will actually happen during most of your days OFF. It's even better to live at LEJ with your family.
