Plenty of options with UA (although being 2 of their crew bases it might get tricky at times). AA has a couple of flights a day (Eagle flights that recently are operated by SkyWest, so better chances there) and Spirit has a couple of flights seasonal from here and there . Pretty doable

Does anyone have numbers on the Q4 performance bonus paid out recently? Where can I find the amount distributed and pilot wide credit?

My bonus was lower than I was expecting so I wanted to do the math.

I did that commute for about a year. Granted it was abput 3 years ago. Its pretty horrible commute. During this time of year its not too bad.. during summer and holidays though watch out. Ive been bumped from flight after flight. I had to use the commuter clause quite a bit.. if skywest os doing any flights in between the 2 cities that should help.

Which is a better commute from SLC...ORD or DTW?

Both are awful...I know. Just in case I get off IOE and don't have something on the west coast to commute out of SLC. I bid ORD because I figured it was bigger...easier crash pads.

Delta hub to hub is pretty hard.

I have my bid in for SLC. I'm a 01/02 hire so just planning for the worst if I get off IOE early.

And thanks guys! Just wanted to make sure!

You will be back at SLC within 6 months. Everyone tells me to go where you will fly a line if you aren't based at home.

I may see you at ORD because that is where I am planning to initially bid.
