Depends on where you commute to/from. I commute out of ONT. I bounce back and forth between PHX or OAK bases. I have gone as long as year without a hotel in domicile. Recently, the late night sched has changed some and getting home has not been as easy. That said I usually can manipulate my sched to where I only need maybe one hotel a month. Although I am willing to give up more pay than most to get home the same day. I give away quit a bit of flying. Commutes to more Northern cities, BOI, SEA, PDX, seem to be a bit more of a challenge than Southern cities. LAX,SAN,ONT.
I fly 3 on 4 off. Tues, Wed, Thurs. I am a pretty senior f/o so I almost always get my first or second choice.
