CS is much better at dropping trips on you with some advance notice but -I95 can be a challenge. PHL crash pads are relatively cheap, you might want to consider a ‘hybrid’ solution being closer on day 2 for example. Sadly there’s no rhyme or reason with RSV callouts. You could end up back in Denver for landing currency or going over guarantee. I’ve done both!
it’s a great gig; certainly compared to the regionals however…
So if you had the choice between your two hr commute to PHL on reserve at Frontier or holding a line at X regional at LGA/JFK/EWR you would still choose the former? I only have regional experience so I have nothing to compare it to in terms of job satisfaction. Appreciate your insight!
