My last 2 trips I Tri Railed in. It was ontime and relaxing. I've been in MIA for 14 years. I just hate the drive in to MIA.
What I meant was even when I hold a line, I never know how long it will take me to get to the airport. Traffic varies wildly here.
As far as reserves being able to "pick up a trip on days off" It works like this now. They will call you. You will never be allowed access to open time if you are on reserve.
They sold this to us like "Oh yeah, just go into open time and grab one!" Never gonna happen.
