Although if you're a commuter and on reserve, a redeye is a beautiful thing! You can get home AND nuke a day of reserve. When still commuted last year, I loved those things. Catch a nice nap on the ride home, get in and relax a bit more- then you're in good shape and it was almost like an extra day off.

I've been on reserve on the ATL767 since last July- was the plug when I bid to it- It has been great. The trips are laid back, you get alot of nice flying out west and down south to FL, Central America, and the Carribbean- even some northern South America.

I know my trips most of the time 18 hours or so in advance... I've only been called on short call once.

It's a great deal... I'm hoping to be holding a line here in a few months, but we'll see. It all depends on this newest AE.
