Anyone commute from PHX-NY or PHX-SLC
#11
Don't know what airplane you're on in NY, but pattern bidding on the ER is a great way to cut down on commutes.
Award 12-14 day blocks with (min) 1 day off between blocks.
Then start listing your wish trips or types of trips you want. Somewhere in there, you will need a 30hr free of duty interval (FAR 117) so just add a bunch of wish trips in your list that have more than a 30hr layover.
Did that for years with probably 18 commutes each year from SLC. A nice crashpad is mandatory for this technique.

Sorry to raise this thread up from the grave- but I am considering a move to PHX. I have heard the PHX-LAX commute is pretty rough with all the competition.
Anyone currently commuting PHX-SLC?
How difficult is it? Google flights shows about 15 nonstops a day on DL, AA, WN, F9

Also, there might be plenty of flights/day between PHX and NYC but if you’re going to EWR or LGA and it’s a JFK trip… factor in more expenses with transportation. If you are on the ER you’ll be on reserve for a while. How does commuting the day before a SC period you don’t get used for, just to commute back and have another one for 2 days later, where you have to leave again the next day sound to you?
If PHX is a must, I’d do SLC all day long on the bus until you can swap to LAX 73 or ER after your first year if that commute is even easier.

SLC is also a rapidly growing base with the expansion of the terminal A complete. You’ll be good in either airport for the future (unless you want widebody then you’ll have to go to LAX)
