Yeah like 3 a day to PDX, 2 a day to GEG and zero to MFR. But Seattle would be good

Keep in mind, the only jet base at QX is SEA. The rest are satellite bases, which allows mgmt. to shut them down at will. Case in point, PAE was shut down already.

As far as beginning and ending trips in ANC, I've not seen or heard that. Of course, if the trip begins or ends with a DH, then you are allowed to drop the DH, maybe that's what you are referring to?

Are Medford, Spokane, and Boise actual bases (vs satellite) for the Q400?

If so, does their longevity seem to be safe?

There are no satellite bases for the Q so they are all relatively safe. It would take a lot to close one of those down. On that list, Medford would probably be the first to go but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

Did it for 2.5yrs and it wasn't bad with the exception of spring breaks and sundays
