Home every night sounds pretty nice. How long do you think it would take a FO to hold a line like that?

Are you referring to a Time Away from Base (TAFB) rig?? Also known as a trip rig?
It's a guaranteed pay ratio for time spend "on the road" working. SkyWest now has a 4:1 trip rig. This means that for every 4 hours you are away from base "working" regardless of whether your on duty or not (think sleeping in a hotel somewhere), you are guaranteed 1 hour of pay.

Hey guys I'm in the Sept 28 CRJ class jumping ship from another regional over. I live very close to IAH, which is why I'm in the CRJ class even though I have the 175 type. I'm sure I'll get MSP or ORD before IAH. Which one would be the easier commute while I'm waiting for IAH?

The HSA is saving them way too much money to go away. They will have to adjust the deductibles and other things for to Obummer care but we all knew we were gonna get screwed anyway.

Just keep in mind at SkyWest all of the rigs, duty, premium, and trip, are based off of scheduled times, not the time you actually spend on duty.
