Sad but true Kathey, when I started with KA I needed 20 aircraft to arrive or 120 pilots to leave, 3 1/2 years later I needed 20 aircraft to arrive or 120 pilots to leave.
Even if the supposed 6 aircraft arrive in the next 2 years, that will put a command at around 10 years for anyone who joined post 2007.
As for commuting, piece of cake with KA, its just a matter of how often you want to see your family. If once or twice a month is satisfactory you might be ok.
