I am a military (100% ME turbine) pilot looking to the regionals to build up additional time and Part 121 experience - I currently am 2 hours from CLT by car. No other domiciles are close by except RDU for GoJets (about 1 hr drive), but it sounds like I should stay away from them.
I have a friend in CLT I can use his futon for Reserve, but the 2 hour drive only works if I can do trips.
For guys based in CLT holding a line is there a wide variety of schedules (O+B, 2-day, 3-day, 4-day)?
Thanks.
Call-out time is two hours for short call reserve in DAY and CLT and one hour in TYS. Long-call reserve won't be a problem for you.
Are you two hours away from CLT in non-rush hour traffic? If that's the case, I can understand the concern. If you are considering GoJet and PSA, I'd take PSA.
