Lots of DHs show up in Open Time too so you can deviate to/from your trip. Then, once you get some seniority, you can bid to a base with mostly Europe flying if you wish, and not have to go back to training. On the west coast it's almost exclusively non-augmented so you will get a flying seat on nearly every flight too so you can get proficient handling the jet.
