1. Commuting by plane is generally favorable with a short flight time (like SFO-LAX) and/or the travel is within the same time zone (like NYC-BOS).

What you are suggesting is practically cross-country. You will waste significant time just because of time zone changes. For example, with a Friday afternoon departure, you arrive at CLE in last evening, almost midnight.

I'd agree that flights to CA would be inconvenient, but the to the northeast ought to work. CLE-DCA is actually a shorter flight than your SFO-LAX example.
