So how flexible are they? I live 2.2 from DAY and that's the base I wanted. However I only live 0.7 from an airport that has AA (mostly PSA metal) service to CLT, DCA, PHL and ORD.
They told me they attempt to put pairings on the night before at out stations like DAY for SCR but what would be the possibility of them agreeing to me doing it from home and then repositioning from the closer airport to CLT, DCA, etc since I'm assuming DAY is just like TYS with first leg repos to CLT.
This isn't my first airline so I'm gussing no but worth a shot based on what you guys said was allowed in TYS.
Thanks
How flexible is scheduling? They are flexible when it benefits them or doesn't reduce their flexibility. I've had them allow me to sit reserve out of base in another base; I've had them TDY me from one base to another to sit reserve; I've never heard of them allowing a crew member sit reserve at a non-base location. Always worth asking, but I wouldn't expect for it to happen much... if ever.
I'm sure that's the answer you were expecting.
