DEN/SLC/BIL/RNO/BOI Commutes?
I would love to work for UPS and live in the Rockies. I was wondering what the easier gateways are to use of those I listed?
Any other Mountain West commuters that jumpseat to SDF from non-gateways that want to share their experience? I'm guessing smaller places like Durango, Jackson, or Kalispell are going to be exceedingly difficult and stressful?
Thank you.

If you want to live in a city without a UPS gateway there is usually a feeder carrier like Ameriflight that connects the small town to the mainline UPS gateway. They do allow jumpseaters. I use this technique living in a small Michigan city that feeds into Lansing, then jumping to SDF on us.

Be careful with airports served by Alpine as a feeder, we cannot Jumpseat on them and they’re all over MT/WY/UT/ND/SD. It’s much lower stress if you’re within driving distance of an actual gateway served by our airplanes. Plenty of people here drive 2-3 hours to a gateway to commute to work.
