How is DCA looking? I have class on 8/7 and was hoping to hold DCA out of training.

How long would it take to hold MCI as an FO or CA?

Any base except MIA by the time you are off IOE or soon after, reserve times are minimal no matter where you go.

Can you drop trips and then pick up trips from other bases?

Open time pick up can be from any base. It will be your responsibility to get there and back, but you are still protected by the commuter clause (at least two attempts). You can only drop a trip during SAP if it doesn't bring you under 75 hours and there is enough reserve manning to cover it (here is a hint, unless you are at CMH or IND you are not going to be able to drop trips). There is also a trade board where you can trade trips or splits (parts of a trip) with other people.

From FAA website:

"The Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) is a voluntary alternative to the traditional regulatory requirements under CFR14, Parts 121 and 135 for pilot training and checking. Under the AQP the FAA is authorized to approve significant departures from traditional requirements, subject to justification of an equivalent or better level of safety. The program entails a systematic front-end analysis of training requirements from which explicit proficiency objectives for all facets of pilot training are derived."

It's essentially a scenario based training program. Much better than standard training programs and a little less stressful.

Of course the stress level also has a great deal to do with how an individual airline runs their training program as well. (Both AQP and Traditional)
