Also a lot of redeyes on the west coast. If it were me, and I were commuting, I'd perhaps look elsewhere if the commute options were the same.
If commuting from Oregon, SFO makes sense in terms of minimizing commute time. SFO also has all of United fleets, short of the Dreamliner.
Maybe he should even consider jumping to the triple after year 1? Reserve long call out times are set to improve—up to 18 hrs out.
