if you are based in FNT and live in Orlando, you cannot just call scheduling and ask them if you can sit your reserve in SFB.
The only way to get out of the reserve days in FNT would be if they post ‘drops’ in opentime got FNT. That’s when h th hey have excessive pilots available for the day. You can then drop your reserve, drop 3.75 hrs of pay and then that day you are not obligated to be in FNT. You can now pick up a reserve or trip in another base if there is one in open time.
Guess how many drops you I see in some of the bases……. Zero! Some have a few from time to time but it won’t get you out of your commute very often
