BMX, I have a couple friends who live on Whidbey Island and also Seattle who do the oakland commute. As much as I love SWA and feel very blessed to be here, I would advise you to really look at your options. We all have different goals and make decissions for different reasons. I personally would not commute by choice. If I had to live in Seattle for some critical reason, I'd be looking at Alaska Airlines. If my desire to work for SWA was greater than my desire to live in a certain area, I would look closely at our 7 domiciles (rumor has it we will announce #8 next month) and pick one to live in. Our schedules are written as AM lines and PM lines. It is very difficult to get commutable lines, ie you'll be flying in the night before an AM or spending the night after a PM. That could be another 4 nights away from home. Just something to think about. Good luck with your hour building and your application process....it's a great place to be.
