Sitting on a 2 hour late B739 right now. Reason? No crew up line - in AUSTIN!! This summer is fixing to be rough.
Best move I have made is moving to Alaska (and partners). For a PDX based flyer where market is shared pretty equally between the majors, the ability to get anywhere in the US from PDX non-stop is a no brainier. I used to think the slog through ORD or DEN was worth it. No more.
By the way, I'm on an award flight today. I'm burnin as fast as I can.
