And if the first leg of your trip happens to be starting somewhere other than your base, you’ll go straight there from your gateway, and don’t get imputed. Many trips start with a deadhead from your base to somewhere else, and in that case you would go straight to that airport from where you live, and don’t get imputed.
Also at the end of a trip you can quite often catch an Atlas jumpseat from Anchorage to someplace closer tour your gateway airport, and then commercial in from there. Many times the plane I bring in to ANC turns right around and goes to CVG or ORD, and I stay on it and then catch Delta to ATL.
