Ah ok, copy. Thanks, I don't want to sit reserve so there you have it. I have a week of vacation too, 22hrs out the window.

Wait until round 3 or 4 of reserve offerings. Round 2 may get a few more takers, but won't be enough.

Folks, looks like I’m in the same boat as many of you, staring down a summer of Reserve with a double leg commute to boot. In good days, I would commute the day prior and head home the day after every trip. Now it’s looking like I will essentially need to move to base (DCA) just to sit 18 days of long call in a hotel on year 1 pay.

Is there any effort to temporarily extend long call to 24 hours call out time? That would relieve the commuting pressure on tons and tons of pilots, with very little diminished capability for the schedulers to execute the meager schedule we have for the next 2-3 months.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Ain't gonna be any flying. I wouldn't sweat it. I decided to get a new duck hunting retriever to train. That should take a solid 4 months. Consider how to use your new free time to do the things you never had time to do in the past.

Humm...just random thoughts here. I’m sure these days you can’t get to IAD, on certain days, within 24 hrs, let alone a 12 hr call out. Heck I even wonder how I can get to my base these days. Not sure how it is on NB fleet but do long calls get assigned trips? I’ve never heard of that occurring. I’m sure I’ll be told in next post that it happens daily, over the summer, on the NB side. Ok during the summer. But not with so many not flying these days. Any trip that appears in open time disappears before you’re even aware it was there.
Is that the case these days in DCA?
I hear what you’re saying, LC becomes SC immediately. But maybe not in May. Hopefully you’ll get a few more nights at home. Be glad you’re not commuting to SFO I guess. Like my KVPS new hire “buddy.” Wonder how’s he's doing these days. 🙄
Find another temp job ASAP! Save yourself the pain. The hangman is coming!😞
