As of now, I think the wait time is 6 weeks.

Commuting app
Is there an app that aids in quickly seeing flights to/from as well as the load factors?
Are there any easy commutes from SFO/LAX to a lower cost of living location on the west coast? For example LAS/RNO/SLC/BOI/DEN.
How long until one can hold DEN?
Thank you.

For commute, consider looking for a highly competitive ULCC route and just buy tickets

I’m a driver and live in Sac, but as related by folks I fly with, there is no perfect commute to SFO. Someone living in each May chime in, but here’s what I hear.
Like someone else said, with the hiring, the “how long” question is unanswerable. I’d say not long. If DEN is your thing, I think all of those places are better to Denver commuters than SFO (except maybe LAS). There are huge advantages to being SFO based if you’re not tied to any place, but those quickly evaporate when you’re not in driving distance.

LAS-plenty of commuters but plenty of frequency, also lots of flights to the other Bay Area airports, so probably the best flying commute.
RNO-Quite a few, and senior, commuters there. Very seasonal service as well including a lot of UAX. Not totally stress free, but not terrible. On the plus side, you can drive if needed.
SLC-Decent frequency and a smaller number of commuters.
BOI-A few commuters, but mostly express flying, so several guys I know have to two-leg it on occasion.
DEN-TON of commuters. With the prudent commuter policy, I don’t hear of guys not making it, but there are many, especially Junior, who have to go to their backup.
