I have commuted for several years as a flight attendant. I am used to it now but can honestly say that it feels like a second job. I am always so envious of crew members who are finished when we land. I actually feel like the hardest work starts when I am off duty and trying to get home. I think it depends a lot on your seniority. If you are on reserve it can really be all-consuming. All you need is a storm or a cancelled flight to double your work day. If you have children that you want to be able to rely on you being home I would dicourage it (especially if you're junior).
Good Luck!
