SEA Commuting
Hi all,
Just looking to get some feedback and opinions on my commuting options if I were able to land a job with Delta. I'm currently a military pilot with no airline experience so I don't understand the important details of commuting and I want to be aware of what I'm getting myself into to max extent possible.
Details:
Living in Calgary YYC
Planning on commuting to SEA or SLC
Would like A320 initially, A330 eventually
4 flights a day between YYC and KSEA but are with Alaskan and WestJet
2 flights a day between YYC and SLC on Delta.
Have wife and 3 kids. QOL and time at home is important
US citizen with ATP
So my initial questions are:
1. Is there anything preventing me from commuting from Canada?
2. I'm assuming A320 would work about 15 days a month. More or Less?
3. Is there any issue with commuting on other airlines. I'm assuming lower priority.
4. I have an offer with Westjet. Should I keep it simple and work in base even though pay it at least half of Delta.
Thanks everyone. Any input is appreciated.
