I was assigned that because I was on short call. This is on the 777, I don’t know what life is like on sparky, they may be busier.
So, with all WB reserves starting out on 12-hr call-out, how often do you get switched to short-call? is it an option for commuters to try to stay on long-call as much as possible?
Thanks!
