The original question was from a current or prospective NH pilot asking about sitting LC from most likely an opposite coast most likely on a narrowbody fleet. My point was don't count on it very much if at all. That has nothing to do a positive outlook or glass half whatever. A trans con commute as a NH reserve thinking you're going to sit LC at home with anything other than a constant /clock/icrew/travelnet watching obsession is pretty much a pipe dream. DL's a great place to be for a lot of reasons, but that's not one of them.
