Thanks for the answer, the airline I'm most familiar with, Alaska, I believe actually has a lot trips where you are in SEA at the end of the day. It's almost like a 9-5 for some people I've talked to. I figured this was an outlier, thanks for confirming.

SEA-MCI may not be too bad of a commute as far as competition for the jumpseat. It's not a hub to hub commute which is a royal PITA anyway you slice it. The biggest downside is that the trips in MCI tend to start very early on day one and end late on the last day. That's gonna cost you a day off on both ends for the commute. ORD has a bunch more flights, but most likely has a lot more mainline guys jumpseating.

Yep, commutability is very subjective depending on time zones, number of flights, etc. The OP is commuting from SEA. Two time zones and probably around three hour block time so it's doable. Looks like there's even a red-eye, but that can be tough on the body after a while.
