CDO's are vastly more commutable than reserve, for what its worth.

If you mean the approach briefings, they are in the ODH and require a brief for all approaches except ILS and LDA w/GS ( I think. It was posted up previous page or two).

DTW is no better, 27 reserve lines built yet asking for 23 on multiple days and no less than 18 (on just 2 Saturdays) it's just the company refusing to allow any manipulations of schedules after PBS sticks the lubeless joy our way each month.

A CDO is "last out, first back" flying. Fly the last flight out from the hub and first flight back while remaining on duty all night. You get about 5-7 hours at night at the hotel to rest but the entire day as well. You show at about 8:30pm and usually finish by about 8am, depending on the city and day of the week. Our CDO lines have about 3 of them in a row. Some guys just hang out at the crew room all day between them eliminating the need for a crash pad. 100% commutable since you'd don't need to arrive til late on first day of sequence and can leave very early on last day.
Edit: expect 12-13 days off.

12 hours in the crew room seems like a lot of time to kill! Do they have dedicated sleep rooms there? 3 of them in a row? Does that mean 3 overnights in a row? If you preference and get a CDO line, is that what the line is made up of the entire month? Or are there other types of trips mixed in throughout the month? How long are the usual legs on those CDO trips? And your edit...do CDO lines usually give 12-13 days off per month?
Sorry for all the newbie questions btw
