Are the 767 schedules out of ONT more domestic? Are there any chances to spending more nights home during the 17 days of flying?
Living in base always helps. ONT is mostly domestic. Largely Amazon. The occasional international trip will come up. I’ve personally never been based there, but from what I’ve noticed it does seem like you end up back in ONT pretty often.
A few things to consider. First, we do have a gateway program. Commuting is about as pain free as it gets. I used to commute at the regionals myself. Atlas feels 0% like that. Hopefully we keep gateway in our next CBA, or maybe even get home basing [emoji1692]. Second, ONT is a small base. It seems to be getting slightly smaller in lines, and our last round of 76 upgrades all got CVG. So I would be a little hesitant to put all my eggs in the ONT basket. Third, there is no guarantee you will get placed on the fleet of your choice. You could find yourself driving the whale out of ANC, but then again, there is gateway.
Cheers!
