I’m a jr lineholder in ORD and I’ve been able to trade out of 4 day trips into 1-3 day trips and still keep similar credit. It helps a ton....we got a newborn at home. I think I’ve been lucky to be able to do that. And I live in base.

When I was on reserve they might put a one day trip on your schedule, but, it’d be almost certain that by the time you landed back at base you’d have more flying added to your schedule. I only got a turn once or twice. Granted, I was only on reserve for about 2.5 months....again....lucky...
