I just finished my first and only three days of reserve in EWR...my only three days...ever.
I start in SFO next month (days off until then). I live in Sacramento, so it is a drive-able commute, albeit a nasty one at times as it took 4 hours to get home tonight from OET class due to the ridiculous Friday afternoon traffic.
The key here was that a vacancy bid came open while I was in the indoc class and I was awarded the lateral from EWR to SFO. It had an effective date of 1 April, but pilot planning moved the date up 1 month to 2 March. Pretty darn awesome...no complaints here.
That is awesome to hear. Are you planning to drive that every trip/rsv stretch?
Would I be wrong to think that for those in the 17th class that want to be out West and we get the 756, we can plan to be easily 1.5 years in EWR/DCA until we get out West?
