So you’ll have to have a place to stay in BIL on day 1 if you can’t pick up an extra overnight that day. There’s only 14 lines total in BIL for FO’s.
I know this information changes regularly, so please bear with me.
Theoretically, could an FO commute in from GDV on Day 1, fly the 4 day rotation and commute back to GDV on Day 4? I live in BIS, so GDV is only a 3 hour drive vs 6 to BIL. And if the flights GDV-BIL are full/delayed etc, just keep driving.
When are bases awarded? Is it likely to get BIL as FO? How about after upgrade during the training contract?
