IT SUCKS. It's a DL hub on both sides, running only 5 narrow bodies a day. All mainline. As SLC is a senior mainline base, a lot of SLC locals commute to the other hubs for work (in the hopes that in a few years they can hold home SLC), and when ALL DL MAINLINE EMPLOYEES even a brand new one with no seniority boards before you as connection employee do, IT EQUATES TO MAJOR SUCK.
Don't do that commute, if you commute between hub cities, make it different airlines hubs on either side, not the same airline. This scenario always sucks.
Thanks for the insight. I am aware that it is two DL hubs, I used to live in SLC and my Father commuted for awhile back to MSP, that was right before the merger was announced though so his insight is a little outdated since my family has since moved back to MSP. I am just trying to get an idea because my Fiancee and I would like to move back out to Park City ( more jobs for her) but it looks like we will be heading back to MSP.
Was hoping it would be better than my two legger now to BOS
