1) Wife lives in Seattle
2) Domicile is ANC (he's an Alaska new hire)
3) F-16 reserves at Luke
Don't know how he does it.

And THEN imagine an ex/baby momma in there with the kids somewhere. Hence my addition/"quadrangle" comment.

I did something similar when I got hired at UAL minus the wife and kids. Just double commuted. I lasted about 15 months. I had to plan ahead when, where, and how to do laundry, all stowed in the single Travelpro that I lived out of.

I can't imagine having 2 jobs, i.e. an airline job and a Guard/Reserve gig. I feel compressed enough as it is. Can't imagine coming home from a 4 day and going right back to work, let alone having to switch gears from airplane to airplane. More power to those who do though. When I get home I have enough to do just with family obligations.

Many, many of us with Guard/Reserve gigs bid to have conflicting duty... In other words, I typically plan to drop an airline trip in order to do Guard duty... Not sure how it will work now (new airline and new Guard gig), but hoping that the same arrangement is possible. Not sure I can handle working more than a full airline schedule... Of course better pay at United (vs the regional) might make me think twice...
