depends on what you can hold. I’m a commuter and I bid via PBS show times after 830a and release no later than 2000. I generally get awarded 4-5 day trips that end in a red eye. They’re commutable on both ends.
being on reserve well that’s a different story. I used to proffer trips so I could hopefully get awarded a trip I wanted that was commutable. Sometimes though you will get stuck with a broken trip like having to commute in the night before for an early flight to MIA DFW and deadhead back. Long call was decent, just not when you got a call in the evening for an early show.
