Not out of base on reserve. They can recreate a trip to be in your base, I.e. deadheads on the front and back. But you can’t slip out of base as a reserve pilot. As a line holder there are options.

As he says, with a line there are options. An out of base white slips (pickup at straight pay) are done the day before or day of the trip.

The next AE award will have unfilled vacancies in every narrowbody fleet in every base, just like the last one (except maybe SEA 7ER).

Im assuming conventional wisdom is to bid for the aircraft types that are in your desired base so you can move at some point later down the road without worrying about a seat lock? How often is there an opportunity to change bases? Is there some way to do a base to base swap with another pilot outside of an AE or something along those lines? I've read back quite a few pages to try to figure it out but I'm still uninformed, to say the least, coming from a regional with only 2 bases, 1 fleet type, and base changes/upgrade bids that only happen when the company decides to do it. TIA

Im curious about this as well, I have a CJO (still waiting on class date) and watching the drops it looks like NYC is drying up compared to earlier drops. I already commute so it wouldn't be a big deal to keep commuting (especially with the positive space, for as long as that is around), but would obviously rather drive to work.

There is no way to swap planes or bases outside of an AE, except for some very specific circumstances (such as coming off of a leave of absence).
