Two trips were my choice, two were JM. For me long call commuting is working well.
What city do you commute to?

I live an hour north of IAH, so I rarely fly to Dfw .. it's a 3 hour drive, no worries , or headaches. However , if /when I upgrade to left seat or 777, it will be MIA, and between AA and UA, there are 9-10 direct flts. I've never had an issue getting to mia for vacation!! The JS reservation system takes a lot of worry out of a commute, as I did it before and it sucked.

777 MIA is heavily weighted towards Deep South trips. Not the easiest flying on your body. A full month means you'll have 1/3 of the nights with only a 2+ hrs nap.
In October, before PBS, FB to Europe was 1000 numbers more junior in DFW vs. MIA.

Right on brother. Hey, do you remember their operation "lock and Load", operation "Fire at Will", 15 second strike that the POTUS squashed? AWESOME!!
Had some APA idiot waving his scope badge/ID under my nose and asking for the jumpseat the next day, saying that we were "scabs" for flying. I made him ride on the jumpseat so I could educate him.
Fun days.

Wow aren't you the Best! Looking at your APC profile. And what airline would that be?
So now you claim to be a G450 OWNER?
