And for long call, it seems like I'd be fine being at home, since there would always be 1 option on B6 that would arrive within 14 hours?
I feel like an idiot trying to figure it out - I'm so used to the 135 world of just an 8/6 schedule, but no reserve or regularly scheduled trips.
It’s a big change but don’t get too bogged down with the details. Plenty of guys do it. You’ll feel out what’s right for you as you go along.
You’ll commute in on your first day for your rsv block for that week. Go to your crashpad and if they call, they call. If not, go to the gym and hang out. Try and have fun with it.
