And I just hate that I don’t get to pay state income tax. You should definitely stay wherever it is that you are.

Side note, how long is the commute on skis from Heavenly to SFO?

But the widespread perception of Reno as all cheesy casinos and desert is pretty inaccurate if you know anything about the Sierras. It was, however, helpful in keeping property values low for awhile even in the south near the mountains. That 10% saved on CA income tax paid most of the mortgage. Those days are over though and this whole conversation is probably moot because housing prices have gotten ludicrous for new buyers.

My main question at this point is that we've seen a few cancelations recently (mostly cited to crew availability)... Is that a common occurrence? Any projections/insights on the number of flights on UAL metal per day? Seasonal variability? Right now I'm mostly seeing 3-4 flights per day, with 1 or 2 of them mainline. TIA
