VDO use is all luck of the draw and being in the right place at the right time. If you live in base when the schedules takes a dump due to a weather event...then you have a better chance of being used. Aside from wx, the only other time I've gotten used was when there is an equipment substitution and they have to scramble to find a crew. Living in base is e key.
