I have done that before at times (from RDM, not GEG, which has similar early morning flights to hubs by all carriers). But it can add significantly to the trip cost, and of course add more time (currently the last flight of the day is 6pm, so leave house around 4:30pm). Not that I enjoy those very early morning trips to the airport, but that is life at an out station.
