I have no problem starting early on day 1, but hate how just as likely as an early start; we could get a commutable late start sequence and not have to leave a day early. I would love to bid for my RAP for the whole month during the bidding window.
I have reached out to my reps, but I hope posting here could get some traction and more people asking showing this is important to the pilot group.
The number of times i’ve been half way to the airport or in line boarding to get on a flight only to find out i can commute the next day is ridiculous. I know jetblue does the same thing but they notify by noon the previous day. Its even worse for those of us living in EST commuting to CST.
