I'm a returning furloughed guy who will be flying the 73N out of SLC. I currently live in the LA area (Thousand Oaks) but will be moving the family to Park City, UT. Based on my previous experience at DAL, here are my thoughts...commuting while on probation is a crap shoot. I did it to NYC and CVG while living in ATL...wouldn't recommend it but its not impossible. It does negatively affect your quality of life, however, especially if you have a family.

While LAX is currently junior to SLC that will probably not always be the case. I can imagine that some day soon, guys and girls will be required to cover multiple airports as we did in NYC. If you live in SoCal you know what a headache THAT will be. That's why I bid SLC over LAX. No thanks on the drive to ONC or ONT from Thousand Oaks on short call. I think for one to be able to respond on reserve to LAX plus the others, the only place to live will be southern LA or very close in the valley.

Good luck and welcome. Looking forward to seeing you on the line.
