Commuting From RDM
Lowly CFI here, currently time-building but I'm starting to look at the regionals. I would prefer to continue living in the Bend/Redmond area if possible. Any info on commuting would be greatly appreciated.

It’s one of the more popular spot for AAG employees. With 6 flights a day back and forth from Seattle it’s not that bad. As a pilot you can get a commuter code when listing non-rev to work, and with that being said it makes it less stressful. Long story short, it’s do-able and if you desire to stay in Bend. Try for the 175 and base in Seattle. PDX is also not bad but actually less flights.. I never had an issue getting home after ground training from Portland. I’ve actually noticed more Alaska crew commuting to/from but since it’s Horizon metal you’ll have priority.

Gents,
Trying to revive this thread because its pretty specific. I'm a military guy getting out in about a year. My wife and I grew up in Bend, I'm looking at DL or UAL. How is the life commuting out of RDM to say SEA, SFO or LAX? I'm trying to gauge if its even possible or just a bad idea/difficult commute? Any advice or experiences would be appreciated from anyone that's done it.

We’re also currently running one 175 a day RDM-LAX, and one 737 a day RDM-SFO. As always, subject to change.
No clue what other carriers are doing.

Thanks for the info. I'm guessing you're with Horizon? Seattle looks to be the best option for number of flights each day. LAX / SFO could be difficult.
For what its worth, looks like RDM is looking to expand the terminal beginning in the next 2-3 years.

I think it would be unwise to expect the current Horizon flight schedule to stay the same. We're shrinking right now so our schedule is probably going to change quite rapidly over this year and 2023. Probably best to see what flights other airlines have.
