Wondering if any SKW pilots have any thoughts on being the junior FO at Denver versus Colorado Springs. Advantages / Disadvantages of each?
COS- Trips start early and end late. You will not get called as much on reserve. You will likely not get called in just to sit ready reserve. You will likely not get sent TDY to sit reserve in another base.

DEN- Trips start later and end earlier. You will get called in a lot more often, sometimes longer trips, sometimes just a short roundtrip. You will sit ready reserve at the end of an assignment if you last day is a fairly short day. You will get called in to sit ready reserve for 7:30 on the last day of your reserve block. You will get sent TDY to sit reserve in other bases.
