Exclamation Wait, so what about commuting to LCR WB FO?

Well the evening before your long call day the phone rings, you don't answer, screen the call. Screw scheduling assigning you to SC starting at 10am. If not used, they then later assign you FSB for the next day . If not used then you think you're going into LC finally. Phone rings, It's your lucky day. You have been selected to help people get to weddings, funerals, business meetings, vacations, even Diney World after the super Bowl. You are truly excited to be so helpful. Only downside is, your block in flight misses the last departure to get home by 15 minutes. This happens again, and again, and again. So, viola, only 3 or 4 LC in 3 months!!

Welcome to the brotherhood of, "Well, commuting IS a choice. I lived through it, you can too. There are bigger things than trying to get industry standard(Delta) reserve rules. Suck it up buttercup"

Hope this provides a little clarity. Totally diff story on WB or if you live in base, it's much more palatable
Thank you for the information, it does help. And the end of your comment leads me to my next big question:

What about commuting to LCR as a WB FO? That's actually what I was most interested in (commuting AUS to EWR or SFO), and now I'm very curious if that might be a little better than what I'm hearing about commuting to LCR in general.
