Currently on RSV as a Bus captain in EWR. Live in base (about 2 hours away) so I can sit short call at home. But I will echo the sentiments of other respondents that “long call” is a rarity. I’m always converted to a short call or field standby. I try to aggressively pickup a Newark trip to prevent going to LGA (drive sux) but will take a short call over field standby (that needs to go in the next contract). I would never consider doing this if I didn’t live in base. It’s “do-able” for me since all the kids are grown and don’t “need” a predictable schedule. Just my 2 cents.
