Oh yeah. You are correct. Those do not exist. I have to cobble my flying together from a combination of my original line, ELITT, and open time. It is a pain. I am just not a fly my line kind of guy and won’t be until my kids are done with college.
Commutability is the single most important thing I look for in a trip. In fact, I switched to Dallas and took a seniority hit in October because they jacked around with the flights to my commuter city. I plan on driving when I can’t fly both ends of my pairing. I hate hate hate staying in a hotel when I could be at home. It drives me insane.
