ASA Commuting
 

I know commuting is bad. But is it possible to do in ATL for ASA? Any ASA people please chime in. Thanks.

What city are you wanting to commute from?

DTW or DEN not sure yet.

I understand you have your reasons; but why would you want to commute from DEN? Hopefully, it's a direct, non-stop flight.

Hope it works out! Blue skies.

I heard something like 60% of ASA pilots commute. I don't know where that figure came from though. There are lots of flights from DEN to ATL, I just counted 22 for tomorrow, and that's only the direct ones. Not all of them are Delta, but you'd have to jumpseat anyway to save $$ because Delta is charging us a small fee now for every leg we use our benefits on. Only ASA flights are free. Jumpseating is always free and works on about every airline.

DEN-ATL is a hard commute. A lot of pilots live out there. No idea on DTW.

I commute from TPA. Usually it's ok, but sometimes it sucks bad. ASA has a commuter clause now, so that might help things although you still have to plan ahead.

I commute from SAN and it's been good. DTW though is one of the largest Delta bases / AA bases so there are quite a lot of people that also do that commute. =) I've been doing it for a year now by the way.

What exactly does the "commuter clause" say? I mean does it have specific parameters that YOU have to meet in order to be covered if you miss a flight due to delays/full flights/ect? (Specifically ASA's since I am looking at applying with them, but want to commute from Indianapolis)

ATRsteve, the only time I have ever had to stand and watch a plane push back that I listed for was TPA-ATL-Air Tran. It looks like it wouldn't be too bad with Delta and Air Tran flying that route though.

DTW is a Delta/AA base?? Thought it was NWA..
