I've started avoiding QX after a two hour delay on PDX-YVR. That flight was delayed further because the crew needed a "45-minute rest break" after coming in from their deadhead. So, I'm only flying the PDX-SEA shuttle and booking the Skywest or mainline Alaska flights. QX is a last resort now.
That is awesome if you live in a city that has mainline service. For us out here in the backwoods it's QX or drive 3-4 hours.
