How is this commute? -> ORD-MSP
 
Is it doable? I see quite a few flights from multiple carriers but not sure if there are a lot of js on these flights... Anyone who want to chime in? :)

I fly that route occasionally. Lots of flights, but lots of commuters. You should be ok if you leave yourself some outs.

Hub to hub generally are the difficult ones.

Did this as half of my commute to/from ROA for a spell...

Lots of flights but keep in mind that they tend to leave in banks within about 15-20 min of each other. You basically have to choose one flight in that bank and stick with it.

Used to double-leg from DTW or LGA when I was based at either of those bases and there was no chance of catching a direct flight. Worked great each time with a huge number of options. As previously stated, usually the United and American flights would depart within 15-20 minutes of each other so you'd have to pick the one with the best loads. I always thought it'd be as close to an ideal commute as it can get (still sucks).

If you're a pilot for OO or ExpressJet, you should have no problem commuting these city pairs. Lots of commuters, yes but you have priority in the JS and OO beats up MSP pretty good

We fly ord-MSP, and there's usually room.
