And, for a commuter on reserve, what would you suggest as a crash pad location? What's the best way to manage this?
Quick and dirty response:
1. Yes you are expected to cover all 3 airports. IAD is busiest obviously, followed by DCA then BWI.
2. I would suggest a crash pad close to IAD and there are plenty posted on the bulletin board in the crew room. If you do not have a car, the metro will become your friend.
