More jetBlue:
Once assigned a trip, you are effectively treated as a line holder for the days of that trip, which includes for pay purposes. For exampe, if they reassign you to a flight that gets you done later than your original pairing footprint, you are paid the same overages as a regular line pilot (which here is minimum of 5 hrs at premium and JA rates, all paid over guarantee). This is nice in that if you are assigned a 2-day trip that finishes early, you know that they cannot keep extending your trip, without paying you serious money.

In addition to Sulkair's post, at Frontier, if you are awarded a trip through aggressive reserve bidding, you are released until your showtime for that trip. Ex. If you have a 4 am reserve period and you are awarded a trip with a 1pm show, you are not required to be contactable until your new showtime!

**These aforementioned rules do not apply during, IROPS or company induced short staffing events. When chaos ensues we shut the airline down and reboot so our airplanes and crews can rest.

I also haven't flown much. Had to buy trips for currency. My QOL is wonderful.
My only hope (which I'm not holding breath for) is after the CBA the SCR timing goes from 2 to 3 hours.

Should add at Spirit the same applies... Once you are assigned a trip you have all the rights of a lineholder... They cannot reassign you and a lineholder cannot poach your trip...
Until the MEC grants the company contractual relief in an operational meltdown and none of these rules apply...ha

I flew with someone who lives right at 2 hours from base and just by hearing it described to me, it sounded stressful, and he didn't even have to drive closer.
Everyone's situation is different and I realize packing up and moving is probably not an option, but in my opinion your idea seems just as stressful as a traditional commute.
