All the flights are gone from IAD by 5PM on T-Day, and there are probably only like 5 flights total. If there's a day to sneak out early, that's it.

If you're AM, they should release you very early on T-Day with that many people on duty. If you're PM, they should release you by 5PM.

It would be very easy for them to algorithmically determine reserve numbers based on historical absences, holidays/weekends, and forecast block time, but you know--just cuz it's easy/cheap/simple to do something doesn't mean Mesa's gonna do it.
Always appreciate the information flaps. Is there a place on Pilot Lounge or FLICA to see when the last flight of the day is? If it is 5pm, that may be just the info I needed. My deadhead gets me in after that, so the goal would be to skip it altogether and commute home from the city I start in.
