I don't have anything else specific to point out. But when a guy asks, "How commutable are the schedules? Can you at least commute in or out on one end or the other?" And you respond saying they aren't at all commutable and they are mostly 4 on/2 off, that's giving bad information.

I understand you believe QOL sucks here, and are constantly beating that drum. But if you're a reservist who lives in base, maybe let one of us who commutes and bids lines chime in. It's obvious if you can only find 8-10 hour 4 day trips in open time (your words), you don't know how (or when) to trip trade.

To the guy who asked the question: Yes, you can commute in/out on one end or the other with most sequences, depending on the frequently on your commute. If you get an uncommutable line, there is a 24 hour trip trade window every month where you can swap trips with open time (before the trips get picked apart by guys picking up OT).

I personally have a lot of success with trip trading, I try and pick up hours and make my trips commutable. This month I added 5 hours and added a day off by sliding a trip into next month. In November I lucked into a trade that got me Thanksgiving off. Trip trading is a huge QOL boost for line holders and I'm dreading going back on reserve as a Captain because it means losing a huge QOL gain for a commuter like me.
