Commuting to/from BOI-SFO
 
Can someone who commutes from Boise to SFO tell me how challenging it is to catch a ride to/from please?

I don't do that commute, but in case no one chimes in I'd think getting a jumpseat would normally not be much of a problem. When I commuted to EWR I always got at least a jumpseat as there were not many other commuters. You should also look at OAK/SJC backup options when commuting (three other flights to pick from). Even PDX/SEA to SFO is a possible backup. Not an easy commute, but not insane.

When I was west coast based, it wasn't uncommon to have JS'ers/commuters out of BOI. Lots of guys live there. And keep in mind, it can go back and forth between a E70 and a CRJ200 currently.

CRJ200, uggggh, kinda blows sometimes JS wise.

Skywest is opening a e175 base in Boise, that should help

I was just talking to a UA Capt who does this commute. He told me he buys a lot of tickets.

The CRJ200 JS kinda blows all of the time. ;)

Thank you for the information. I was afraid of that.

Right meow it's 3 SkyWest E175s and a CRJ 200 in both directions daily. No idea about loads but you shouldn't get bumped out of the JS by weight restrictions.
