A quick point on this if I may...I added the emphasis to the "or" each time it was used in your previous post to help illustrate my point.

Aside from the day trips, (which come, go, change and are often cherry-picked by the senior outstation FOs who are waiting to upgrade in the same equipment, certificate, and base) you're going to very quicky realize that it's not 0445 reports or post midnight release times at the end of your trip, it's both, should you choose rjet. You'll be up at 0300 to get to the airport for your report, and released the next night at sometime close to midnight. Sleeping disorders and the poor attitudes that result from such terrible schedules are rampant at many of rjet's outstations and you'll find a large percentage of crew members outright unpleasant as the result.

Depending on your individual circadian rhythm, either the very early morning of the first day or the late night of the second day of this type of trip will have you tired to extent that rivals mild alcohol impairment. Not only only is it poor for morale, unhealthy, and hard on family life (the wife won't put up with you sleeping until noon the next day trying to let your body recover for long) it can lead to the sort of mistakes that cause pilot deviations or even worse.

It is a bad system. In the past, the nature of the outstation flying precluded schedule improvements, but the amount of rjet flying into these bases has increased to the point that strictly morning or evening pairings would easily be possible, but the company seems to have learned how much crew members hate such trips and refuse to improve the schedules simply for that reason. Keep in mind that this company's stated goal is high turnover to decrease crew costs...their business model depends on it even more so than other regionals.

That being said, there are trips that are back or front end commutable (read: morning or evening schedules), and some that are even so on both ends, but they are rare, particularly during the winter months.

Your enthusiasm is encouraging. I was the same way when I was hired in a class of 17 people over two years ago. Today, 4 of us remain, and our enthusiasm has turned to disappointment, regret and oftentimes anger. I turned down interviews with 4 other regionals when I was in training or shortly after IOE because I also thought that they were all the same. I failed to understand, however, how difficult rjet's outstation basing would affect my QOL in ways that I could never anticipate, even when I lived in base.

Good luck with your decision. Choose carefully.
