Ty for the info. I live about 3 hrs from MCI right now... Too far? What is the normal expected response time when you are called in on a planned no fly day? I have family in the area and can stay with them for the normal planned fly days, but would like to be at home when able (assuming I was lucky enuf to catch on). How is commuting a few hrs viewed?
We require our pilots to be within an hour of the base airport. Our callout time is 2 hrs to the airport and 3 to wheels up. If you are beyond 1 hr, then you will not have any QOL on a standby day as in you will be constantly on the hot seat.
