My wife and I are starting to think about where we want to go and pick at the drop. I want to live as far from the city as possible, but still be within SC limits and not make life really difficult, hence all the questions. Thanks everyone.
FSBs are normal to see on the 737/320 fleet… not do much on bigger aircraft. Unless bad weather normally sit 4 hours then leave. 2.5 hour SC call out with normal driving conditions… I can’t remember where it’s written but think 200 miles is the baseline used. No limit on SC or FSB… but after first two assigned you get another hour of pay (above 73 hr guarantee)if it’s assigned by crew desk (not picked up voluntarily).
