Spokane commute?
 

So what level of insanity can I expect trying to commute geg-sea?

The frequency to SEA is good and the GEG agents will take great care of you. The frustration comes in trying to get home. The SEA agents (especially the QX ones) are not going to go very far out of their way to help and you will get left behind with an empty jump seat at least once a month. Central Load Planning likes to weight things randomly and the gate agents won’t even let you down to the captain to see if you could make it when the final numbers come in.
That route is also a favorite for line checks since it is so short so randomly you’re out of a jumpseat that way too.

Good deal, appreciate the rundown.

Right now the last DL flight to GEG and first flight to SEA is on a 717. Usually plenty of open seats.

It’s rough. I’ve been told there are 200 or more total GEG pilot commuters. Not just alaska. The air group just reduced the Boeing flights to Horizon Dash-8’s and E175s. It’s been frustrating the last couple months. I reiterate GEG agents being great. But SEA QX agents are very frustrating and don’t follow procedures.

UPS does a M-F nightly GEG to BFI (Boeing field) flight. Could be another way to get to work if the daytime flights don't work?

Also, consider Ameriflight out of BFI to Felts Field.

If it gets you home, or close to it, a seat is a seat...even if its in a beat up Beach 99.

IF it gets you home...
