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?
You could try commuting from GDV but since the number of available seats and flights are low, and no Jumpseat, your chances are probably 50/50 at best.
Bases are awarded during training then every 6 months (June/December for FOs). BIL has 14 lines and a fair amount of turnover. There are openings there regularly, so if you don’t get it initially you have a good chance of getting it 6 months in.
