Does anyone commute from Spokane? If so, how does that work out?

Maybe i’m not as rash, but commutable on one end of trips, is considered pretty darn commutable and fair to me, and we have MANY pairings like that…
You are clearly new to Airlines.
NOBODY would ever think Allegiant is commutable nor do they advertise as such. They have always been known for their ‘out and back’ schedules which is ideal for Pilots living in base, and seasoned Pilots know that😉… also, they are not considered a ‘Legacy or Major’ by any stretch hence not a “Destination” airline.

He’s right, you know. Allegiant’s schedule is built out and back, all in the same day. They are known for that.

Exactly. Which was the exaggerated point I was trying to make, that went over both y’all’s heads. There was so much complaining going on about commutable trips here, that I jokingly said maybe you should try Allegiant then…

Subtle exaggerated points do not communicate well on a forum. That has been my experience over decades. When we are in person, you can see my eyes and my smile. Facial expressions and body language helps communicate this much better.

A) Freq Flyer is a rookie. Knows not what he knows not. B) Even though it is a gross contractual violation, we are not able to commute on Alaska Airlines flights operated by Horizon Air. Alaska Airlines flights operated by Skywest we are allowed to commute on and of course our own flights. Horizon does all the Canada flying for Alaska Airlines. We do none of our own. You can list as a non rev behind all of the Horizon non revs and their friends and family but that is not commuting. C) Alaska Airlines has an intense dislike for commuters. I have commuted for 24 plus years with Alaska. We completely failed to address commuting in our last contract and we failed to get commutable long call/short call reserve language as well. Not sure where you live in Canada but you should just plan to drive

As usual from you…nothing but half truths.

[MENTION=119166]Hitch18[/MENTION] the Horizon part quoted above is something you should definitely understand and research so you make a fully informed decision. If you're starting soon also consider that it's more than possible that you get SFO or LAX instead of SEA. I don't know how that compares to the current Delta outlook for you. Where are you in the hiring pipeline?
