We'll see how long it lasts, i personally have been taking advantage of it while its here.
I don't know.... My next couple of dash trips start with DH's to and from ORF to start and end my trips... that is whiskey work.. And now.. a ton of over nights in SCE/ROC etc... This isn't even summer yet.. wait till the crunch of summer comes.. problem is, if we are properly staffed, someone else isn't and someone is going to have to do the flying. Plus 2/3 145s a month... people transitioning out of the dash.. base closures... its going to buku bucks for a while...
This last storm really tested the reserves.. and we were out of reserves on everything..
