It's a 14 hour callout (to report time, which is an hour before departure) which means they can't use us before 2pm on day one. In fact I don't think I've been used on day one yet. We also only need one flight on company metal for our commuter policy as long as the flight has an open seat 24 hours in advance. In summary if you have a relatively easy commute with the 14 hour callout it's very feasible to bid LCR and not live in base, which is what I do. That's why I asked - I was hoping maybe United would get something similar.
